Theo van Gogh

Theo van Gogh was born in The Hague in 1957 and grew up in Wassenaar. A great-grandson of the painter's brother, whose name he bears, he abandoned law studies, was refused entry to the Amsterdam film school and shot his first film with neither training nor money. Filmmaker, columnist and polemicist, he attacked authorities and religions head-on, and became one of the most controversial figures in the country. He was assassinated in Amsterdam in 2004.
