From Personal Struggles to Global Stage: A Striking New Music Documentary Film (S10, May 12)
Revealing Documentary Film on Eurovision and Dutch Superstar
S10
U.S. Debut Tuesday, May 12
on the Viaplay Streaming Service
As anticipation builds for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in May, this intimate, unfiltered documentary film follows S10 (Stien den Hollander), the breakout Dutch artist who captured international attention as a finalist at Eurovision Song Contest 2022. S10 makes its U.S. Debut on Tuesday, May 12 on European-focused streamer Viaplay.
A rising voice in European alt-pop, S10 opens up about the personal struggles behind her meteoric ascent, offering a rare, behind-the-scenes look at an artist navigating fame, identity, and mental health. With nearly a million monthly Spotify listeners and a fiercely devoted fanbase, she’s emerged as one of the Netherlands’ most compelling young talents.
Signed at just 16-years-old to Noah’s Ark record label and adopting the moniker S10, she made a rapid rise to fame with her raw, genre-defying sound and deeply personal lyrics shaped by her challenging experiences with mental health and a complicated upbringing. Painfully honest and powerful, her songs have become a way to channel her feelings and those of many in her generation who share the same struggle.
For this intimate documentary, Stien was followed for several years, from her greatest performance in front of two hundred million people at the Eurovision Song Contest to her most vulnerable moments at home and her ongoing struggles with her past. Directed by Linda Hakeboom and Rolf Hartogensis, this poignant and emotionally charged film captures a thought-provoking portrait of a bold, young artist as she overcomes mental health crises and takes her career to the global stage, including exclusive behind-the-scenes access, from songwriting to her standout stage performances.
