VPRO

The VPRO (originally an acronym for Vrijzinnig Protestantse Radio Omroep, or "Liberal Protestant Radio Broadcasting Corporation") was established in the Netherlands in 1926 as a religious broadcasting organization. Falling under the Protestant pillar, it represented the Liberal Protestant current. However, in the 1950s and 1960s it became more (social) liberal than protestant, and while the acronym VPRO was kept, its meaning was dropped. It was the first to show a nude woman on Dutch television, Phil Bloom in 1967, in the Wim T. Schippers show Hoepla. The VPRO is known for producing and broadcasting quality (and sometimes avant-garde) programmes, documentaries and films, the target audience of the VPRO could be considered as mostly highly educated and creative people (e.g. artists, designers, scientists).

VPRO often collaborates with other broadcasting organisations such as WDR, the BBC, and Arte.

Like all Dutch public broadcasters, the VPRO does not have its own dedicated channel.

VPRO was the first broadcaster in the Netherlands to implement, in late 1996, the web content management system MMBase, now in use by major Dutch broadcasters, publishers, educational institutes, and national and local government administrations.

Wall Street

Wall Street is a 0.7-mile-long (1.1 km) street running eight blocks, roughly northwest to southeast, from Broadway to South Street on the East River in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City. Over time, the term has become a metonym for the financial markets of the United States as a whole, the American financial sector (even if financial firms are not physically located there), or signifying New York-based financial interests.

Anchored by Wall Street, New York City has been called both the most economically powerful city and the leading financial center of the world, and the city is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization, the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. Several other major exchanges have or had headquarters in the Wall Street area, including the New York Mercantile Exchange, the New York Board of Trade, and the former American Stock Exchange.

History

Early years

There are varying accounts about how the Dutch-named "de Waal Straat" got its name. A generally accepted version is that the name of the street was derived from an earthen wall on the northern boundary of the New Amsterdam settlement, perhaps to protect against English colonial encroachment or incursions by Native Americans. A conflicting explanation is that Wall Street was named after Walloons— the Dutch name for a Walloon is Waal. Among the first settlers that embarked on the ship "Nieu Nederlandt" in 1624 were 30 Walloon families. The Dutch word "wal" can be translated as "rampart". However, even some English maps show the name as Waal Straat, and not as Wal Straat.

The financial brain of the London City - (VPRO documentary - 2013)
Joris Luyendijk is a journalist and a publicist with a banker’s blog on The Guardian. For this episode of VPRO backlight, he dives into the financial brain of the London City, and descends into the minds of the master bankers. A study of adrenaline, testosterone, addiction, and the magic of big money. Original title: Inside the banker's brain Five years after the breakout of the financial crisis, we still do not have a good picture of the damage. The credit crunch was followed by economic recessions, the EURO crisis, and vexatious political indecision. Meanwhile, analyses, reports, books, and films have been made on how the financial system has pushed us over the edge of the abyss, and we have become familiar with terms like junk mortgage, derivatives, and bonus culture. But oddly enough, we know very little about the players in the system: the bankers, the traders, the inventors of poisonous financial products, the Masters of the Universe. They were vital to the image of the financial boom when it was rampant, but largely stayed out of sight when the blows fell. What do we even know about this new, self-proclaimed elite, the French sociologist Michel Wieviorka asked himself in an earlier Backlight episode on the Metamorphosis of a Crisis. What are their goals, their dreams, their fears, what is their taste, and how do they work?

The new chinese world order - (VPRO documentary - 2016)
For some time now, the establishment of the World Bank and IMF has had a Chinese counterpart: AIIB, which China intends to use to finance a huge infrastructure project to connect Asia and Europa, a New Silk Route. This new international financial institution forces Europe to take a side. The UK decided, against the urgent advice from the United States, to become a member, and also the Netherlands has joined the Chinese initiative. According to China watcher Martin Jacques, this is the beginning of a new Chinese world order. Original Title: Chinese Wereldorde While Europe is being tested by a tragic economic crisis, terrorist attacks and refugees at the gates, the founding meeting of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the New Development Bank has been quite unnoticed. These are two new multilateral financial institutions that challenge the current order of the World Bank and the IMF. Both are led by China and are set up to bring the world-dominated World Bank and IMF to the crown. After the British became members of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, due to economic opportunities, the Netherlands, France and Germany also followed. The importance of this, initially, British shift of foreign policy is difficult to underestimate. The United States feels this is a direct threat to their sphere of influence. "The biggest diplomatic battle since the Second World War between the US and its main ally," said journalist and China expert Martin Jacques about the surprising British step. And symptomatic of a new world order. But how does the Chinese influence differ from the American influence? Will Europe become a pawn in the battle between the two influence spheres?

What can you do against regimes and armies that provide no or little information about incidents, bombings, torture or abuses? The citizen detective finds out by himself. With the tools and data available in the digital domain, citizens are very well able to reconstruct what happened and thus discover ‘the truth’. They’re the new eyes and ears of democracy. Organisations of citizen detectives, internet investigators and blogging experts. Every day, they gather new and relevant information from everything going around the worldwide web and social media. Data about geolocations, acts of violence, the people involved, destruction, airstrikes, torture, shipping routes, weaponry, targets hit and the number of victims. By connecting the data in this multitude of publically available evidence (open source intelligence), the digital citizen journalist network Bellingcat has discovered more about the downing of flight MH17 than the national commission of inquiry.

State of Alert Israel style - (vpro backlight documentary - 2017)
‘When it comes to security, Europe is still in a state of denial’ – (Michal Marmary, Homeland Security Tel Aviv) Recent suicide attacks in Paris, Brussels, Nice and Berlin have greatly increased focus on civilian safety in Europe. More and more, politicians, security experts and the media refer to Israel as a model of well-organized civilian security. Some even talk about the ‘Israelisation of Europe’. But what exactly is the Israeli security model? Can it be applied in Europe and what world view would our continent be importing along ith it? After the recent terror attacks in Europe, a golden age has dawned for Israeli businesses, with the export of security expertise and technology. Companies such as Radwin, Faception and Magal S-3 are now at the vanguard when it comes to camera surveillance, automated border control and facial recognition. But what kind of ‘state of mind’ is Europe now importing into its police departments, security services and city authorities? What makes the Israeli model so characteristic and successful that the European authorities are getting so enthusiastic about it? And what are the consequences of applying such a model?

Mobility as a Human Right - (vpro backlight documentary - 2016)
Original title: The mayor - mobility is a human right. Can one mayor make a difference? The Mayor of Palermo, Leoluca Orlando,is famous and loved as a fighter against the mafia. He also wants mobility to be recognized as a human right. In his city, Orlando has abolished the residence permit. He welcomes personally the African fortune seekers at the port and recently came to The Hague to launch his method during the first meeting of the Global Parliament of Mayors. In its "Charter of Palermo" Orlando says that migrants are entitled to housing, employment and health services regardless of their immigration status. Therefore he goes against the national policy with its "tyranny of the residence permit” and empowers his city to protect migrants. Driven mayors are taking more power to themselves and experiment with radical solutions to persistent problems: in his book "If Mayors Ruled the World", political scientist Benjamin Barber takes the mayors side and pleads for international cooperation between cities in a Global Parliament of Mayors. Recently, mayors from around the world attended the establishment in The Hague. Can mayors form a global network and restore the civilian’s confidence in politics?

While the world is in crisis, there is a man who thinks the future is as bright as it can be. Peter Diamandis, author of the book Abundance and co-founder of Singularity University, sees how technology can soon provide all basic needs such as energy, clean drinking water and food for the growing world population, with ease. Original title: Overvloed But the ideas of Peter Diamandis go beyond specific technological solutions. He sees a world in which technological developments will be moving at an ever higher rate. As in the field of healthcare, where the use of data and smartphones make it possible to monitor one's health, not once in a while, but constant. The consequences of this are hardly visible to many. This documentary explores the world of ever faster growing technological development, in which major changes can happen overnight, and investigates if technological developments that are just around the corner will be able to solve the world’s major problems within the next 20 to 30 years.

Greece is the answer - (vpro backlight documentary - 2013)
Is ailing Greece the start of a new Europe? Alternatives arising from the ruins of the bankrupt growth economy give citizens control over supply and demand. Local and social; a small-scale economy. Is ailing Greece the start of a new Europe? Will the cradle of democracy also become the cradle of a new economy? One in four Greeks is out of a job, the youth unemployment rate is approaching 60%, and the purchasing power of the average citizen has declined by 30%. But that is exactly what forces us to think out of the box. For from the ruins of the bankrupt growth economy rises a practicable alternative. The "potato movement" guides the way to a revolutionary new model, that is co-facilitated by the government. Local, social and elusive to futures and distributive trade. In the "no middleman" economy citizens are in control of supply and demand. After the tragedy of the old euro model, modern Greece stages a different economy: that of the smallest unit. Is this where the new Europe is built from the bottom up?

The Chinese economic bubble 2011 - (vpro backlight documentary - 2011)
Original title: The Chinese bubble The biggest real estate developer in the world is – unsurprisingly - a Chinese. And he is convinced opportunities are equal for all in China. But do the scaffold builder from the countryside and the car salesman from the Chinese capital, representing the social strata of Chinese society, share his believe in the Chinese Dream? The Chinese Bubble shows how class differences motivate a country to move forward in uncertain times. It helps explain the delicate balance of Chinese growth and explores the sacrifices of the people who are making it happen.

Poor people are booming business - (vpro backlight documentary - 2007)
Original title: The Last market. Most of the world’s companies market their goods and services to the richest part of the world’s population. But an increasing number of these companies are realizing that they have neglected more than five billion consumers at the bottom of the income pyramid. Almost all of the world’s companies aim for the richest part of the world’s population. This situation changed when in 2002 business guru C.K. Prahalad and Stuart Hart (Professor of Management at Cornell University) published a groundbreaking article called “The Bottom of the Pyramid.” The poor can be the source of innovation and the engine behind global trade and wealth. Don’t consider the poor as victims or as a burden, but as flexible and creative entrepreneurs and consumers.

The Anthropocene: The age of mankind - (VPRO documentary - 2017)

The Anthropocene: The age of mankind - (VPRO documentary - 2017)

The Anthropocene: The age of mankind - (VPRO documentary - 2017)
An ocean that contains as much plastic as fish, an atmosphere filled with CO2 choking the whole mankind and mass extinction of animals. The destructive influence of mankind will be at least as disastrous as the asteroid element that wiped the dinosaurs off the planet. Reason for Dutch scientist Paul Crutzen to introduce a new geological period: the Anthropocene, or the age of mankind. Original title: Tijdperk van de mens German explorer Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was one of the first to see how everything in an ecosystem is connected. Von Humboldt introduced the idea of the Earth as a living organism in Western thinking, which eventually became the basis for the later environmental movement. Geologists from now see the impact of mankind at an increasing pace: climate warming, plastic soup, nuclear fallout, a disturbed water supply through erosion and tar sands, higher CO2 concentrations and diminishing biodiversity. During the last century, the influence of mankind on our Earth and atmosphere has become so great that it is judged by some scientists to be irreversible. To name this influence, a group of geologists recently proposed to date the Anthropocene back to 1950, with the exponential growth of the fossil economy. But earlier it was also discussed that the beginning of the industrial revolution was the starting point, or the first forms of agriculture or even the first mining in the Stone Age. The influence of mankind on the Earth is so great that next generations will be able to see it back in the Earth's layers over hundreds of thousands of years. But if mankind really creates its own geological period, how can we deal with it in an adult way without reliance on a naive belief such as the self-solving ability of God or nature? How can mankind take responsibility and benefit from its influence? We are also finding solutions for climate change and depletion of our mineral resources here on Earth: from the cultivation of cucumbers in the desert, the mining of platinum into the space to the regreening of eroded land. Are these breakthrough just a bandaid on an hemorrhage or can mankind shape the Anthropocene by means of technological intervention so that we meet a viable future? With: Andrea Wulf (historian and author of 'The Inventor of Nature', a biography of explorer Alexander von Humboldt), Bruno Latour (philosopher associated with Sciences Po in Paris and author of, among others, Facing Gaia. Eight Lectures on the New Climatic Regime ') and Phil Gibbard (British geologist setting up a working group to see if the Anthropocene can be introduced as an official geological term).

The Bitcoin Gospel - (vpro backlight documentary - 2015)

The Bitcoin Gospel - (vpro backlight documentary - 2015)
Is bitcoin the blueprint for a bankless currency, or the biggest pyramid scheme ever? When the financial world collapsed in 2008, a mysterious genius under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto presented the architecture for the perfect, bankless currency. Bitcoins can't be forged, and can be transferred worldwide with one click of a button, without transaction costs. Up till today, nobody knows who Nakamoto is, but his invention of the first decentralized cryptocurrency became world-famous within a couple of years. ‘Bitcoin Jesus’ Roger Ver invested massively in bitcoins when they were still worth less than a dollar, and in 2013 he saw the bitcoin exchange rate reaching as much as 1000 dollars. What’s the bottom line, now that this globally disruptive currency has grown to maturity? Is bitcoin the blueprint for fair money, separated from banks or states, or will it be a new hierarchy froom haves and have-nots?

Does thinking shape our reality?

Does thinking shape our reality?

Does thinking shape our reality?
Thanks to our brain we can think about our place in the universe. Are we the only kind that can do that, and do we see the real reality? We can think of what others will think. Can animals do that too? And the reality in which it all plays, does that really exist, or is it a kind of projection? Is scientific knowledge of the world to be combined with the belief in a higher power? Original title: De Denker Nicky Clayton has been fascinated by birds throughout her entire life. Ideally, she would be one. She works a lot with birds, doing comparative research between the thinking ability of crows and people, especially children. Donald Hoffman grew up as a son of a "fairly religious" parent couple - his father was a pastor - he went to church every week. He soon realized that the creation story was in conflict with how nature works. This led to the urge to investigate the world itself. Hoffman was a teenager when the computer age came and his mother, provided him with computers that he could key in and which he could encode. His fascination with computers sharpened his interest in the relationship between man, machine and consciousness. Hoffman is researching how we look at the world around us. How do we get where? Can we manipulate that observation? Why did evolution make us beings using symbols (car, tomato, house)? What is reality, and how does our brain interact with how we perceive that reality? Hoffman shows that what we see is a reality. Guy Consolmagno is an astronaut who specializes in meteorites, pieces of alien material that have fallen on Earth. But he is also the head of the Vatican Observatory. Believing in a higher power and doing scientific work, does that go together? Yes, he thinks. “Knowledge is dangerous, but so is ignorance. Religion needs science to stay away from superstition and stay close to reality, to protect it from creationism, which ultimately is a form of pagan faith”. The Mind of the Universe is an international science documentary series and open source platform about the rapid evolution of our knowledge. It explores the human destiny and the world of tomorrow through the eyes of the greatest thinkers and scientists of our time. In each episode, a typical human quality takes centre stage, in which the scientists and their research are embedded.

Verfilming door Reinout Oerlemans van Kluuns gelijknamige roman. Was ondanks wisselvallige recensies een groot commercieel succes met meer dan een miljoen bioscoopbezoekers. Het melodrama met Carice van Houten en Barry Atsma (die een Gouden Kalf won voor zijn rol) wordt nog steeds jaarlijks op televisie uitgezonden. Kasper C. Jansen nodigde filmwetenschapper Joris van Laarhoven uit voor een kritische kijkbeurt in De snijtafel. Uiteindelijk deelden ze een hoop complimenten uit. Aan andere films. VPRO.nl publiceert iedere laatste woensdag van de maand een nieuwe aflevering van De snijtafel. In deze online videoserie ontleedt, interpreteert en bekritiseert Kasper C. Jansen populaire cultuur. Dit doet hij elke aflevering met een andere gastcriticus.

Quants - The Alchemists of Wall Street - (vpro backlight documentary - 2010)
Quants are the math wizards and computer programmers in the engine room of our global financial system who designed the financial products that almost crashed Wall street. The credit crunch has shown how the global financial system has become increasingly dependent on mathematical models trying to quantify human (economic) behaviour. Now the quants are at the heart of yet another technological revolution in finance: trading at the speed of light. What are the risks of treating the economy and its markets as a complex machine? Will we be able to keep control of this model-based financial system, or have we created a monster? A story about greed, fear and randomness from the insides of Wall Street.

Inequality for all [Ongelijkheid voor iedereen] (VPRO 2doc 20141204)
Basisinkomen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Dz5hV6KqYU Econoom en schrijver Robert Reich legt haarscherp uit waardoor de ongelijkheid tussen arm en rijk in de Verenigde Staten de laatste jaren is toegenomen. Deze ongelijkheid is volgens hem de oorzaak van de economische problemen in de afgelopen dertig jaar. Er gaat zoveel geld naar een kleine groep mensen met topinkomens, dat de middenklasse niet meer genoeg verdient om de economie draaiende te houden. De meeste huishoudens hebben enorme schulden. Tegelijkertijd verdient 1 procent van de inwoners meer dan 20 procent van het nationale inkomen. Dit heeft volgens Reich niet alleen effect op de Amerikaanse economie maar op ook de democratie.

Europe is dead, long live Europe - (VPRO documentary - 2016)
The European Union is morally and culturally bankrupt, according to German philosopher and historian Ulrike Guérot. It’s time to put the EU project to its grave. Guérot envisions a European republic that consists of 50 regions around clusters of big cities, with a recognizable identity and shared economic and cultural interest. A decisive Europe that reinvents itself. With her book Why Europe Must Become a Republic, she positions herself in a tradition of politically utopian thinkers. After having worked for almost twenty years on the building of the European Union, within various EU think tanks, it all suddenly became clear to her during the bailout of Cyprus in 2013: this Europe is bankrupt. Subsequently, one crisis followed the other: Greece, Brexit, refugees. With the capper being the election year we’re facing in Germany, France and the Netherlands, while Brussels doesn’t have a clear answer to the increasing criticism by the growing populist parties. Guérot compares the state of the current European Union with the WTC during the attacks on 9/11. We stand by and watch how everything collapses. If we do nothing, this European Union will not hold its position up.It's not the many crises in themselves that show a moral and cultural bankruptcy, but the way the European Union deals with it, according to Guérot. This European Union has become a union of money. Guérot says our values must be rated differently: away from the failed nation states in which many people no longer recognize themselves nor feel represented. In the Middle Ages, Europe knew more than 50 different regions. These regions around town nodes should become the new provinces of the European Republic in which everyone is equal. The Europe of Citizens will then be born and the European Union's elite project will be buried. How do Guérot's ideas about a European republic sound to politicians, bankers and to the Vatican? A trip across the Europe triangle, from Vienna to Berlin via Brussels, with Guérot.

Prelude To Oblivion

Cruel reality
Wears away our will to live
All the world will look at me
And hold his breath too hear my speech
So when I leave this world unfair
They will cry for me and understand
I just can't find my way
Or meaning to my life
World will remember?
Not at all
And take my example?
Not at all
Am I wrong?
Yes! Because the world won't take example
From somebody who won't fight
For better days and hide away
Not facing problems in their life
To be alive is the best way
That we must show mankind
We want a better world for all
I ask all the world
