KEEPING UP APPEARANCES 1992
  A film by Leen van den Berg
 
Synopsis This film about Delil, a refugee from Turkish Kurdistan, takes a critical look at Dutch asylum policy.
Delil's application for asylum was rejected so he became an illegal alien. He found work in the greenhouses in the Westland. When the police raided the greenhouses, Delil disappeared.
The film maker decided to go and look for him and o the way she met several of the people involved: Delil's neighbour, a market gardener, the chief of police responsible for the raids, someone from a refugee committee and the former junior minister Aad Kosto.
The film shines a dramatic and critical light on the pros and cons of the current asylum policy.
