The Europe correspondent Hans Peter Stalder from the Swiss public TV channel Schweizer Fernsehen wants to investigate what happened in The Netherlands, after the brutal murder on the controversial moviemaker and columnist Theo van Gogh for the background reportage program ’10 vor 10’. His main question is how the murder influenced the relations between the different cultures.
Stalder interviews Ahmed Larouz a successful Dutch Moroccan businessman and the founder of the Towards A New Start Foundation, a Dutch network organisation for highly educated Dutch Moroccans. He also interviews a spokesperson from one of the Dutch Moroccan mosque associations, visits a very poplar open day in a mosque in the small Dutch town IJsselstein and attends a debate about the future of the Netherlands after the murder on Van Gogh at the University of Amsterdam.
For this reportage Featurez gave advice, did the research, set-up and planning, accompanied the filming, did street interviews and organised video footage of an interview with Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
