The future is here, where you wouldn’t expect it. In this program you dive deep into the special world of algae, in two films. In Bleu Silico, researchers are trying to inject DNA from light-sensitive algae in an attempt to heal the retina. The visually lush science-fiction documentary The Two Faces of Tomorrow exposes the influence of algae on our planet, stretching from the distant past to the near future.


TALK Algen zijn geweldig. Dat is na deze films wel duidelijk. Niet voor niets doet Sarian Kosten (Radboud Universiteit) onderzoek naar deze bijzondere organismen. Ze vertelt hoe algen een belangrijke rol spelen in het omzetten van CO2, maar ook wat de schadelijke gevolgen zijn als algen door klimaatverandering afsterven.
