Pim and Theo in London

The last few days we have been working on the early development of a new project about the very different but linked lives of two Dutch political figures who were both killed by extremists. Pim Fortyne was a right wing politician and Theo Van Goch was a satirist as film maker.


We have been trying to work out who they are and what we think about them.




They were both murdered in public and their deaths caused huge shock and outage in Holland. The show will be about the shape and nature of tolerance in our societies at the moment. Which feels very serious but also very vital and exciting.
