S10

Favourite
Dutch hip-hop phenomenon S10 confronts her turbulent past and mental health challenges as she prepares to captivate the world at the Eurovision Song Contest.

Born in 2000 in the northern part of the Netherlands, Stien den Hollander was signed to Dutch hip hop label, Noah's Ark, when she was only 16, adopting the moniker S10. From that point on, in spite of the severe mental health issues that landed her in a psychiatric facility and her complicated family situation, Stien’s idiosyncratic and exciting form of hip-hop has been making its mark on the Dutch music scene. 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.

Her incredibly charismatic on-stage persona and her raw, tight lyrics have made her a breakout success; today, many see her as an exciting artist with Billie Eilish’s star-power. But as Stien's success grows so do the demands of her booming career. Will she be able to cope with what is coming? Or will she buckle under the increasing pressure? Is she ready to take head on the next great challenge that awaits her - Stien will be the Dutch representative at The Eurovision contest. A great achievement that comes with great pressure. Will she find peace with her history of mental health, and will she be able to cope with everything that happened in her childhood?

This imaginatively shot, aesthetically electrifying, colorful documentary will be a thought-provoking portrait of a bold, young artist as she takes her career to the next level. We’ll follow Stien as she puts the finishing touches to her Eurovision song and begins to prep for the show, offering the viewers a privileged insight into the building of her act, the creation of the look, up to the official announcement of her participation in the contest.

Captured with a visual style that will encapsulate Stien’s mental state - euphoria, mania, moments when depressive feelings grip her - our documentary will take the viewers into the life of this thrilling new talent and her compelling personal story as she gets ready to break-out on the international music scene.
