Since the new Civic Integration Act came into force, the responsibility for the integration process no longer lies with the newcomers themselves but with the individual municipalities in the Netherlands. The Municipality of Breda developed the CUSTOMER JOURNEY integration program for this purpose. The documentary CUSTOMER JOURNEY follows several newcomers as they go through various steps of this integration process.

The film shows the challenges faced by both the newcomers and the institutions and provides a unique insight into how different organizations attempt to guide them through Dutch society: from housing, financial assistance, and social support, to language and cultural lessons, finding employment, and buddy programs with local residents.

The integration process reveals how complex the organization of the Netherlands can be. Can we expect newcomers to adapt to a society that has become a maze for a large part of the population?
