Are you as fond of animals as we are? Then we have the perfect films for you! Because one of the themes that we have woven through the program is We Love Animals. These films are a tribute to scientists who learn from and about animals and thereby try to strengthen the relationship between humans and animals. Because we like to say that we love animals, but do we really show that? And do we really understand the animal world?
