In this podcast & animation project 'Music as Weapon' the musicians fight for their music and a life in freedom. The ban on music and the arrests of musicians all over the world, is a threat to our freedom.
In this series I want to show the power of those musicians. Music is a force that makes those who are in power so scared that they act violently against musicians.
The musician knowingly takes risks to continue making their music while he knows that he risks being put behind bars, being tortured or even killed.
How can it happen that in my time musicians are confronted with this censorship and this violence again.
DUTCH:
In dit podcast & animatie project 'Muziek als Wapen' vechten de musici voor hun muziek en een leven in vrijheid. Het verbod op muziek en het arresteren van muzikanten is een bedreiging van onze vrijheid.
In deze serie wil ik de kracht van deze muzikanten laten zien. Een kracht, die machthebbers zo’n angst aanjaagt, dat ze gewelddadig tegen musici optreden.
De muzikant neemt willens en wetens risico’s om zijn muziek te blijven maken, terwijl hij weet, dat hij achter de tralies wordt gezet, gemarteld of zelfs vermoord.
Hoe kan het gebeuren, dat ook in mijn tijd musici weer met deze censuur en dit geweld geconfronteerd worden.
De podcast-serie 'Muziek als Wapen' is een logisch vervolg op mijn eerdere werk. Documentaires over de strijd om in vrijheid te overleven. In de film Mama Calle zijn het de straatkinderen die proberen te overleven.
In een latere documentaire Zonen van de Zee zijn het Galicische vissers die op zee moeten overleven. In Hou Vol! drie jonge jongens, mannen nu, die door muziek hun weg tot overleven vinden.

6. EUROPE | FREEDOM | RAPMUSIC | English
In Belgium I speak with Valtonyc's lawyer, Master Paul Bekaert. Valtonyc, the rapper, was convicted for "glorification of terrorism." Spain merely prosecutes the rapper for what he says. Condemns him and his music as if he were a terrorist. Belgium has been asked for extradition. The judges in Ghent do not ponder about that, Valtonyc is not a terrorist in Belgium.
On 15 March 2017, the European Union issued directive 541 for all its member states. National governments must incorporate laws into their own legislation, that make "glorifying terrorism" punishable. Spain, Bulgaria and Hungary, among others, have created and implemented laws. Belgium has not yet complied with the European directive.
