And how does she fit into Suriname? Amber visits different families to get to know the versatile Surinamese character. Through their eyes, Amber sees a Suriname she did not yet know: one of daily worries, all-encompassing spirituality and nature. A country that is in dire economic straits and has a complex (slavery) past. But above all a country of zest for life, resilience and love, which keeps a hopeful view of the future.

In the six-part BNNVARA series 'Alles is Famiri' (Surinamese for 'everything is family'), presenter Amber Kortzorg goes on a personal journey to the country of her father Lloyd. The beautiful, rainforest-covered country through which the Suriname River flows and with which the Netherlands, but also Amber itself, has a complex relationship. What does identity actually mean in a country with so many cultures?
