vpro documentary Pop star Blythe Pepino came to realise that far-reaching choices are needed to save the climate. Such as not fulfilling your wish to have children.
Pop British singer Blythe Pepino concluded that drastic choices are needed to save the climate. And she didn't want to avoid them.
She founded 'BirthStrike': an organisation for women who consciously choose not to have children, as a response to the climate crisis. The media portrayed her initiative widely, and within two weeks she had almost 150 other women on her side, mainly in Britain.
Blythe does not want to discourage anyone from having children and is not out to condemn people with children. She does want to make it clear that the problem is urgent and that major changes are needed.
The VPRO is touring Europe and European history. The series 'In Europe, History caught in the act' picks up the thread where the previous one ended: in 1999. Optimism at the turn of the century gave way to fear and confusion following the attacks on the Twin Towers, the credit crisis, an increasing flow of refugees, and an increasingly troubled relationship with Russia. But can you recognize history if you are in the middle of it? If nobody knows how it will end?
The series speaks with witnesses, that without realizing it, ended up in the middle of an important historical event. Every week we publish new videos from the new series and previously broadcast seasons.
In Europe, history caught in the act is a series with Geert Mak by Stefanie de Brouwer and Roel van Broekhoven.
On VPRO documentary you will find nonfiction videos with English subtitles, French subtitles and Spanish subtitles, such as documentaries, short interviews and documentary series.
