Documentary: Place of Light
Bram Janssen & Elles van Gelder
Downtown Johannesburg is conceived to be a dangerous place. But the city is slowly changing. “Place of Light" is a story of innovation and risk taking, of pitting historical city decay against the innovation of young entrepreneurial minds. How do you bring back the pulse of downtown Johannesburg and plant a place of creativity, business and living back into the inner city? A story of a pioneering development project by a group of young people, as well as a look into the context of regeneration in the Johannesburg landscape.

Rhino Massacres
A feature for Dutch current affairs programme EenVandaag on the poaching of rhinos in South Africa.
Neushoorns, officieel zijn ze beschermd, maar in Zuid-Afrika worden ze elk jaar met honderden afgeknald. Stropers en smokkelaars slachtten vorig jaar 448 neushoorns af en elk jaar worden het er meer. Natuurbeschermers en parkopzichters in Zuid-Afrika komen nu met opvallende, nieuwe oplossingen. Maar kunnen ze daarmee de vuile oorlog in de wildernis winnen?
Mandela de Bokser
Ter ere van Nelson Mandela’s 94ste verjaardag, verschijnt het boek “Schaduwboksen” van Erik Brouwer waaruit blijkt dat Mandela een fervent liefhebber van de bokssport is. Wat weinig mensen weten is dat Madiba zijn jonge jaren bokste met de grootste kampioenen van zijn tijd. We volgen zijn spoor als bokser in Nederland (Jan Willem Bloem) en Zuid-Afrika (Elles van Gelder).
