De Nacht Van ZWART
Five broadcasters join forces for the graveyard shift on NPO Radio 1. NTR, EO, KRO-NCRV, BNNVARA and Omroep ZWART each take one night. Young makers create night-time radio that keeps you awake, with subjects worth staying up for. On 'De Nacht Van ZWART', studio guests are given real room for their story and overlooked subjects are discussed.
On the night of Friday 17 March 2023, director Henry Timisela was invited to join. The occasion for the conversation is the arrival on 21 March 1951, when the first group of Moluccans arrived in the port of Rotterdam on the Kota Inten. In wintry conditions they set foot in an unfamiliar Netherlands. What has happened since then, and what lies ahead?
