This channel contains versions in English (subtitled) of programmes produced by Dutch national public broadcasting corporation VPRO. The cultural and serious Broadcoasting corporation among the Dutch Public broadcasting corporations (Tros, NCRV, VARA, AVRO, EO, BNN and etc). Most are episodes taken from the VPRO documentary series Backlight, but (clips from) other VPRO programmes will soon follow suit. The VPRO is my (Pieter's) favorite broadcoast corporation, because it's based on quality and not on sensation (thrill seeking), commercial aims and just shows based on mass entertainment and quantity.
It is the corporation who gives the most atttention to objective documentries, science, subjects based on society issues, a Cosmopolitan approach (giving unbiased insight info about the USA, central- and Eastern Europe, the Middle east and Asia).
It's tv for more developped, thinking people, with attention for culture, contemporary art, literature & poetry, quality music, good British and American (HBO) comedies and sitcoms, and the best movies from Europe and America. For me it is an important media source for knowledge and information (next to the BBC, CNN, Al Yazeera, Haaretz tv, and the German, French/Wallon and Belgian (Flemish) tv). I watch Belgian TV a lot too!

About Backlight: Backlight ('Tegenlicht' in Dutch) is VPRO's international 50 minute documentary programme. The programme focuses on our globalized world in which economies, societies and cultures are seeking a new mutual balance. In its history the programme has always tried to grasp the quintessence of prominent developments.
