GEEF ME EENS ONGELIJK | TV Format | English subtitles

'Geef me eens ongelijk' (Prove me wrong) A TV format I directed last year.

We’ve all experienced how a heated discussion can lead to a deeper understanding of a subject. In a time when society seems increasingly polarized, it is more important than ever to bring people closer together and encourage them to learn from each other. It is also crucial to be open to how another person’s perspective can expand your own worldview.

I’ve always had an interest in ‘HUMAN INTEREST’ formats where people gain new insights and where their humanity is highlighted. When we were given the task last year at the academy to develop a TV format, I directly saw a concept: Two opposites who, despite their differences, engage in conversation and bring something valuable out of each other. In this episode is ‘Faith’ the central subject. 💭

To strengthen the concept, I developed a matching director’s vision that enhanced the purpose of this format. For example, the use of silences and close-ups to bring out the humanity of the participants and to create an emotional connection with them. To make it more than just a conversation between two people, we also involved society to provide a broader perspective on the topic. The idea to present half of the show in black and white only came up to me later during editing. This ultimately reinforced the program’s message of equality and brought out the pure atmosphere even more. It was truly a pleasure to direct this and to create it in such a great collaboration with everyone involved.
