Despite clear signals, the Dutch embassy in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum was not prepared for the war that broke out there in mid-April 2023. This left dozens of Sudanese in life-threatening situations. Journalist Bram Vermeulen travels to Cairo, London and Bristol to speak with family members of people who were forced to stay behind in the violence of war. He also interviews Ambassador Irma van Dueren about the embassy's chaotic evacuation. 'My colleagues just did a good job,' Van Dueren says.

SNEAK PEEK TRAILER "UNDERSTANDING AUTISM". DIRECTED BY SCOTT STEINDORFF. FILM COMING SOON. PLEASE LIKE & SUBSCRIBE TO OUR CHANNEL

Interview with visual artist Grayson Perry (1960). Due to copyright limitations we don’t show the clips mentioned, but instead we describe them below. Perry is known not only for his colorful vases and wall hangings, but also for the TV shows he produces. The British know him as Grayson, but also as Claire - Grayson in women's clothes. 00:00 Signs of the Times Signs of the Times is a British television series made by the BBC in 1992. The series examines the good and bad taste in the British home and the extraordinary range of emotions that lie behind Britain's household choices. ​​Over 2,000 people were interviewed before BBC cameras entered 50 homes to assess people’s perceptions of 'good' and 'bad' taste in everything from cuddly toys to duvet covers. We see a younger couple, who love antiques, on the gray couch in their living room. They talk about the interior choices that they have made and what they think is good and bad taste. 14:59 The Mona Lisa Curse The Mona Lisa Curse is a 2008 British documentary by art critic Robert Hughes which discusses the transformation of art into commodity. Hughes investigates how the world’s most iconic painting, the Mona Lisa, has influenced the world of art and traces the way money has distorted the market for art, starting in 1962 when the Mona Lisa made its historic first and last appearance in America. He explores the radical change in museums, art production and perception over the past fifty years, describing the rise of modern art and reflecting over a lifetime of writing and speaking about the art that he admires and detests. It explains how art superstars came about, why art’s monetary value skyrocketed, and the effect of these phenomena on the way we relate to art now. 26:20 Won’t You Be My Neighbor? Won't You Be My Neighbor? is a 2018 American documentary by Morgan Neville about the life and guiding philosophy of Fred Rogers, the host and creator of children’s tv show Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. The trailer for the film debuted on what would have been Rogers' 90th birthday, March 20, 2018. We see the beginning of the movie, where the birth of the show is explained. Fred Rogers is sitting at the piano and explains that he sees it as his duty to guide children when they find all kinds of obstacles in life. Rogers: ‘Love is at the root of everything. All learning, all parenting, all relationships. Love, or the lack of it. And what we see and hear on the screen is part of who we become.’ Furthermore we see backstage footage of the early days of the show. Fred explains that a lot of the creativity was born out of necessity. At the end of the clip we see an animated tiger walking through a landscape and hear the voice of Fred explaining how in his childhood he suffered from many diseases, which made him use his imagination while laid up in bed. 38:33 What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? is a 1962 American psychological horror-thriller film directed and produced by Robert Aldrich. It follows an aging former child star tormenting her paraplegic sister, a former movie star, in an old Hollywood mansion. In this scene the former star Jane (Bette Davis) gets a call from the police and rushes upstairs, where paraplegic Blanche (Joan Crawford) is tied to the bed. 46:00 Big Mouth Big Mouth is an American adult animated coming-of-age sitcom created for Netflix by Andrew Goldberg, Nick Kroll, Mark Levin, and Jennifer Flackett. The series centers on teens based on Kroll and Goldberg's upbringing in suburban New York, with Kroll voicing his fictional younger self. Big Mouth explores puberty while "embracing a frankness about the human body and sex." The clip Grayson shows was taken from the episode The Pornscape (season 1). We see Andrew Glouberman, a young boy who spends most of his time masturbating. Maury, a raspy-voiced monster who follows Andrew around and is responsible for his brooding sexual desires, which frequently occur at inappropriate moments, introduces Andrew to porn. At first he keeps getting distracted, seeing his high school crush Missy in between every scene, but eventually Andrew spends the whole night masturbating, in the morning his room is full of socks he used to masturbate. 55:15 - Another Year Another Year is a 2010 British comedy-drama film written and directed by Mike Leigh. The movie is about an older married couple, Tom and Gerri, who have a comfortable, loving relationship. Tom is a geologist, Gerri is a counsellor/therapist. The film observes them over the course of the four seasons of a year, surrounded by family and friends who mostly suffer some degree of unhappiness. The scene Grayson chose is when Mary comes to visit. She seems drunk when she arrives, as usual, but gets even more drunk over the course of the evening. Mary is too drunk to drive home, so she stays over. In bed Tom and Gerri reflect on the evening. We see Gerri and Tom together in bed, each reading a book, and later they cuddle.

Are we moving toward a world without truth? With the rise of social media, information bubbles and the possibilities of Deepfakes, we no longer live in a shared reality. How to proceed? We are living in an "infocalypse", says British disinformation expert Nina Schick. In her book "Deepfakes and the Infocalypse - What You Urgently Need to Know", she outlines a society overwhelmed by too much information, where it is no longer possible to distinguish between "information" and "disinformation". With the advent of social media, various groups in our society tend to retreat more and more into their own 'echo chambers.' In these they experience their own 'subjective truth.' This makes it increasingly difficult to reach a consensus on how the "real" world should be seen. A new effective and influential step in the spread of dis- and misinformation is the rise of synthetic media. The following speakers will appear in this episode: Nina Schick, Writer and Consultant Yori Ettema, Product designer Deep Memory David van den Berg, Clinical psychologist Henry Ajder, Philosopher Stephanie Lepp, Artist Original title: VPRO Tegenlicht: Zien is geloven Aired on March 7, 2021 Directed by Shuchen Tan Research: Soraya Pol Production: Jeroen Beumer Editing: Christien Houbier Final editing: Doke Romeijn and Geert Rozinga Online editors: Daan Kuys and Julia Veldman VPRO Documentary publishes a new subtitled documentary weekly, investigating current affairs, finance, sustainability, climate change or politics.

Not I by Samuel Beckett | 28 Feb - 17 Mar Battersea Arts Centre Jess Thom has Tourettes, a condition that means she makes movements and noises she can't control, called tics. Following award-winning Backstage In Biscuit Land, she takes on Samuel Beckett's short play in a theatrical experience that explores neurodiversity and asks who is allowed to perform what and who gets the final say. All performances are accompanied by a BSL interpreter/performer and are relaxed. This means that if you tic, shout or move about, you're more than welcome. And the great thing is, everyone can benefit from a relaxed performance. A Touretteshero and Battersea Arts Centre Production, in association with The Albany. www.bac.org.uk
