Heterodyne(en)

And so he hopes to use the weekend, which he has no real desire to go on, to answer new and pressing questions. The “alternative” therapist, however, doesn’t inspire much trust.

Special Document - The Poor Go To The Beach(pt)

Produced between 1989 and 1996 for open-TV networks, The Special Document went far beyond what journalism programs typically showed on TV.

From 1989 to 1996, it was one of the most watched shows on Brazilian open television and ended up being a reference in television quality. The Special Document has won awards around the world, including the Prince Rainier Award at the Monte-Carlo TV Festival.

Warriors from the North(da)

The issue of young Muslims traveling from Europe to countries such as Syria and Somalia to fight with Islamic rebels is a highly topical one, making this story of a Danish-Somalian boy even more relevant. His back turned to the camera as he looks out over a nondescript housing development in Copenhagen, “The Shadow” describes how he fell victim to recruiters from the militant Somalian rebel group al-Shabaab. He outlines the conditions that make boys such as him susceptible to the lure of the “holy war,” explaining that, “Nothing in my life made any sense.” So eloquent is he in his account that one might think it was scripted, but what happened to him is as real as the scenes from a suicide attack by one of his former friends.
