On Hold (2024)
"On Hold" is a poignant short documentary by photographer and filmmaker Prins de Vos, exploring the experiences of individuals waiting for gender-affirming care in the Netherlands. With an average waiting time of three years at academic gender clinics, the film delves into the emotional and psychological toll of this prolonged wait. Through the intimate stories of four individuals, "On Hold" sheds light on their struggles, hopes, and the impact of living in limbo as they await their first consultations. This powerful narrative not only highlights the urgent need for accessible care but also amplifies the voices of those whose lives are currently on hold.
