Model Rose Bertram Faces Mother's Addiction in New Doc

Belgian supermodel Rose Bertram has shared insights into a forthcoming documentary titled "A Girl Like Rose." This film, which documented her life over six years, chronicles both her glamorous career and the profound impact of her mother's addiction.

Filmmaker Jonathan de Jong led the production for SUPER7EVEN Productions. The documentary explores Bertram's experiences as a model for brands like H&M and Sports Illustrated, showcasing locations such as Cannes and Los Angeles.

Beyond the glitz of fashion, the film intimately portrays Bertram's navigation of her career alongside her mother's struggles with addiction. She expressed that sharing this deeply personal story makes her feel vulnerable but also incredibly proud.

Bertram hopes her openness will offer support to others facing similar family challenges. She believes that if her story can help even one person feel less isolated or find the courage to speak out, then the emotional difficulty of revisiting these events will be justified.

The documentary, with creative production by Bastiaan Brand and a score by Bob Thole, is set for distribution in the Netherlands and Belgium by MN Media and High Mass, respectively. "A Girl Like Rose" is scheduled for release in 2027.
