Nomination Internation Emmy Award 2017

The Dutch documentary Robin's Roadtrip (known in Dutch as Robin de Puy - Ik ben het allemaal zelf) was nominated for an International Emmy Award in the Arts Programming category at the 45th International Emmy Awards in 2017.

Renowned Dutch photographer Robin de Puy travels 8.000 miles through America on a Harley Davidson to conquer her extreme fears and find herself again. With only 2 camera's as luggage she gets on a motorbike and sets off on a road trip through the USA.

After winning the Photo Academy Award and the National Portrait Prize, her career rocketed. But lately her work has offered her less and less satisfaction, she wants to go back to selecting her subjects herself.

Fear grips her throat at first. De Puy chooses her route intuitively. She photographs people from all walks of life in her unique, sometimes unrelenting style. The film is an intimate portrait of how Robin struggles with her insecurities, but also how she learns about herself through her photos.
