Gwen van de Pas is a Dutch filmmaker, who spent 12 years in California before returning to Amsterdam. She studied Film Science, holds a Journalism degree, and an MBA from Stanford. Gwen is also an entrepreneur and worked at Bain & Company for twelve years. In 2021, Discovery+ released Gwen's documentary GROOMED, in which she returns to her hometown in search of answers about the man who sexually abused her as a child. To understand her ongoing traumas, Gwen travels to meet survivors, psychologists, and even a convicted sex offender. What begins as an exploration into grooming becomes a dramatic journey where Gwen faces unexpected revelations in her case, finally finds her anger, and boldly confronts the evil we would rather ignore.
