06/05, called May 6th in English-speaking countries, is a Dutch 2004 film directed by Theo van Gogh, based on the novel De Zesde Mei by Tomas Ross.[1]
The film is a fictional version of the events that led to the assassination of the Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn on 6 May 2002.[1] The lines between reality and fiction are blurred in 06/05. It is the last film of Theo van Gogh, who was assassinated himself in 2004.
Theo van Gogh struck a bargain with Dutch internet provider Tiscali over the film's finances. The movie was originally released in December 2004 on the internet, a situation that had never before been seen in the Netherlands. The film could be watched for a payment. It released in cinemas one month later, in January 2005.
