Van Gogh worked with the Somali-born writer Ayaan Hirsi Ali to produce the film Submission, which criticized the treatment of women in Islam and aroused controversy among Muslims.The last film he completed before his death, 06/05, was loosely based on the assassination of the Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn.
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. The film is a fictional version of the events that led to the assassination of the Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn on 6 May 2002. The lines between reality and fiction are blurred in 06/05. It is the last film of Theo van Gogh, who was murdered himself in 2004.
For the finances of this movie, Theo van Gogh drove a bargain with Dutch internet provider Tiscali. For the first time in the Netherlands, a movie was first released on the internet in December 2004. People could watch it for payment. It opened at cinemas in January 2005
