Geen Haat! - Making of "Nederlanders"

Please leave a comment under the main "Nederlanders" video! To select English, Dutch, or no subtitles, use the CC-button at the bottom of the player. A group of ordinary Dutch people volunteer to create a video that speaks out against the spread of hate in the Netherlands. This "making of" was filmed on August 7, 2010. The Netherlands is a free country with no room for hate. We stand for a country in which nobody fears to be oneself and a society in which everyone is appreciated. (Nederland is een land waar iedereen vrij is en waar geen plaats is voor haat. Wij staan voor een land waar niemand angst heeft om zichzelf te zijn en een samenleving waarin iedereen gewaardeerd wordt.) Tolerance for groups of people in the Netherlands is under pressure. For this reason, the "Geen Haat!" (No Hate!) initiative was started in June 2010, supported by a website at http://www.geenhaat.nl "Geen Haat!" is an independent initiative that is carried by a group of some fourteen volunteers who found each other on the Internet. The aim of the group is: - creating awareness of the actual causes of feelings of hate; - encouraging political leaders to speak out against the spread of hate. Starting points of the group are: - groups of people should not be excluded nor insulted; - we speak out against the spread of hate and division; - we do not represent any specific political party, but we voluntarily and collectively subscribe to and express a common message against hate.
