S0E1 - STEEL: The Future of Tata

Maaike Schoon confronts her guests with the moral dilemmas already discussed in the STEEL series. Is there still room for polluting industry in the Netherlands or should we simply close Tata and move it abroad? Is clean air just a human right or is it negotiable? Tata employee Mendes Stengs advocates a much more diverse management team, while IJmond resident Marieke Dinessen fled the region. General practitioner Evelyn Brakema experiences the consequences of particulate matter every day in her consultation room; what good is financial gain if the prize is lung cancer?
