This week we publish the first episode of a new series, Letters to Andalusia. This series has recently received one of the most prestigious dutch television prices called 'De Zilveren Nipkowschijf'. We are curious what you think of this series, please let us know in the comments.   https://youtu.be/c5-Iq3YqxDI 

On Saturday, we have a new documentary that discusses the scenarios after the corona crisis. How will the world look like after the crisis? (Write your own comment below!) 

And here we are again. In 2013 it was the case around African American Trayvon Martin that lead to grassroots movements in the US. Now we are confronted with George Floyd´s story. History repeats itself. If you haven’t had the chance to watch this timeless piece yet, its high time to do so now. 

What happens with Fidel Castro's Cuba and how are people thinking about their own country? Is Cuba the place that our presenter and filmmaker left? Or has it changed into another country that he doesn't recognize anymore? Where is the last true socialist state of Cuba heading to?  Find some answers to these questions in our documentary on Saturday! 

As the last documentary about Cuba was well-received, here we go with a second part of the series. Tourism is upcoming in Cuba. But what does that mean for the people and the mentality of the Cubans? Will Cuba´s socialistic heart bleed with the upcoming tourism and become hip and happening? What will happen if people earn a lot of money with tourism and others stay hooked by the past? Tune in on Saturday! 

As we can´t travel at the moment, it might be nice to do it by watching this documentary on Saturday that brings us to Cuba. In this series, Cuban-Dutch Yuri Capetillo Hardy returns to his native country to see what kind of changes the country has undergone. Is Cuba ready for a generation that is day and night on the phone via wifi? And if so, what does it mean for Cuba and the people living there? Watch the documentary to find out! 

As the Coronacrisis is hitting us hard, we can think of new alternatives to how we can transform the future. The documentary of this Saturday `Architects on sustainable building with wood` shows a possible shift that could help us reduce emissions. What do you think? Has the wooden century begun? 

For a long time, China has withheld crucial information about whether the virus could pass from person to person. Why is the WHO so positive about China when they allowed the virus to emerge and escape? Watch what Dutch comedian Arjen Lubach thinks about it! 

This week we travel further through China with documentary maker Ruben Terlou. He wonders how it is possible that almost five million marriages per year in China are blown up. He attends divorce cases in a court of law and sets off with a so-called "mistress hunter." In a "love hospital" in the megacity of Shanghai, he sees a relationship therapist in action.
