In this episode of Danny's world, Danny goes to the Wielewaal, a small neighborhood in Rotterdam-Zuid. Last Friday, the Supreme Court ruled that the neighborhood may be demolished. The neighborhood, with approximately 500 post-war homes, is in poor condition and may therefore be demolished by the court. The residents have been fighting against the demolition for years; the new homes that will be built on this site are not affordable for the old residents. Most residents have lived in the Wielewaal since birth and do not intend to give up their fight against the demolition. 'It is pure discrimination against people with a small budget,' says Henny, who has lived there for 53 years. Danny Ghosen goes in search of what is wrong in society in Danny's world. He investigates tensions and problems in society and meets people who are often invisible, who push the boundaries, have crossed them or feel excluded. Danny enters everywhere, he asks questions and does not judge. #dannyswereld #danny #vpro
