In Op reis door een nieuwe wereld, the new geopolitical reality is given a human face. Based on encounters for their VPRO series, Terlou and Brandt Corstius tell the bigger story. They give us a glimpse into their lives as documentary makers and all the poignant moments and special events behind the scenes. What drives them to keep traveling?
We travel along the contours of a new world order, where the hegemony of the US has fallen away and where the vacuum is being filled by China and Russia. Where democracies are being replaced by autocracies. Where smaller countries like Taiwan and Ukraine risk losing out. And where Europe must find a new way in.
About Ruben Terlou

For his photography he was awarded several Silver Camera prizes and the Prize for Innovative Photojournalism. He made several documentary series about China. One of these earned him a nomination for the Zilveren Nipkowschijf. With Jelle Brandt Corstius he traveled through Central Asia and showed intriguing stories in Langs de nieuwe zijderoute. In his series Doctor Ruben combined what formed him and looked at the world with a doctor's eye.
