Welcome to our weekly guide to Radio Netherlands Worldwide's English Service - a list of the new programmes coming up on Radio Netherlands Worldwide this week, beginning on Saturday.
SATURDAY 26 April
*** The State We're In ***
Dutch-Iraqi filmmaker Mohammed Al-Daradji returned to his hometown of Baghdad in 2003 in the wake of the American invasion. What shocked him most was seeing several mental patients wandering in the streets of the city, confused and half naked. One young doctor was trying to look after them. Al-Daradji decided to make a film about them called Ahlaan or 'Dreams'. We talk to him about being kidnapped, tortured and imprisoned while making this award-winning movie.
We also look at the right to a home. For some it's a geographical place, for others it's ideological, and sometimes you get caught halfway between the two. That was the case for American pop singer-turned socialist superstar, Dean Reed. As support for the East German regime waned, so did Dean Reed's fan base. He died outside Berlin in 1986, never quite finding his true home.
Meanwhile Philippino Wilma Consul finds her true home in the people and food of Hawaii.
And in Istanbul, the wrecking ball threatens the thousand-year-old neighbourhood of the Roma.

Tom Naegels - 'Arusha'
Arusha by Tom Naegels tells the story of a young Belgian man who travels to Tanzania to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. He also wants to discover the 'real Africa' and he stays for a few days in Arusha. The story is a disturbing look at the chasm between different cultures. It's full of hopeless encounters and how the individual can create, unwittingly, even greater barriers and how ignorance can re-enforce stereotypes.

Lively discussion and thought-provoking reports about and from the African continent. We're giving the microphone to Diaspora groups in Europe and linking up with stations in Africa.

SATURDAY 26 April
*** The State We're In ***
Dutch-Iraqi filmmaker Mohammed Al-Daradji returned to his hometown of Baghdad in 2003 in the wake of the American invasion. What shocked him most was seeing several mental patients wandering in the streets of the city, confused and half naked. One young doctor was trying to look after them. Al-Daradji decided to make a film about them called Ahlaan or 'Dreams'. We talk to him about being kidnapped, tortured and imprisoned while making this award-winning movie.
We also look at the right to a home. For some it's a geographical place, for others it's ideological, and sometimes you get caught halfway between the two. That was the case for American pop singer-turned socialist superstar, Dean Reed. As support for the East German regime waned, so did Dean Reed's fan base. He died outside Berlin in 1986, never quite finding his true home.
Meanwhile Philippino Wilma Consul finds her true home in the people and food of Hawaii.
And in Istanbul, the wrecking ball threatens the thousand-year-old neighbourhood of the Roma.

Tom Naegels - 'Arusha'
Arusha by Tom Naegels tells the story of a young Belgian man who travels to Tanzania to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. He also wants to discover the 'real Africa' and he stays for a few days in Arusha. The story is a disturbing look at the chasm between different cultures. It's full of hopeless encounters and how the individual can create, unwittingly, even greater barriers and how ignorance can re-enforce stereotypes.

Lively discussion and thought-provoking reports about and from the African continent. We're giving the microphone to Diaspora groups in Europe and linking up with stations in Africa. The show goes beyond the clichés of starving children and war-ridden countries and seeks to bring you genuine voices from a vibrant continent.
