In Amsterdam's Oosterpark stands De Schreeuw, The Scream, a powerful sculpture dedicated to the memory of Theo van Gogh, the Dutch film-maker whose life was tragically cut short. Crafted by artist Jeroen Henneman, this striking monument serves as a poignant symbol, representing the enduring significance of freedom of speech. It offers a place for reflection in the heart of the city, honouring a life and an ideal.
