On The Spot

In Spektrum Tv's brand new documentary series two young Hungarian digital journalists, Eszter Cseke and Andras S. Takacs visit the most dangerous and interesting spots on our planet such as the Gaza Strip, the Arctic Circle or Ethiopia. Without crew, with only two handy cameras they produce an hour-long program on each country with exotic locations and exclusive interviews. From the smuggling tunnels under Egypt to secret Taliban fire positions on the Pakistani border, they travel to those places where news happen, and meet people who make them from UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon to World classic runner Haile Gebreselassie. These two talented, enthusiastic and brave young film makers bring a unique style into European broadcasting and try to dig deeper into human stories behind the news then tv-crews usually could in the past. In Bolivia they smuggled themselves into a prison, then to the President's Palace, in Afghanistan they were embedded with troops in the front line, in Ethiopia they recorded a female circumcision. The famous photographer, Robert Capa said: if your pictures are not good enough, go closer. These two digital journalists actually do. You can also get closer: follow them on Facebook and YouTube and get a Hungarian translator so you can read their blog.
