Knowledge Transfer Plan

Product:

The planned product form to transfer knowledge will involve the creation of a film which will focus on radicalisation within Dutch society. It will portray a realistic story which involves parts of Dutch society in which radicalisation is present. The film will deal with two stories, that of a young boy who is subjected to the rise in radicalisation in his surroundings (could be family, close friends, neighbourhood) and the story of a public worker who has to deal with such cases. These two individuals will meet and interact throughout the film. The film will have to show most elements which are present in this contemporary problem (peer pressure for instance) and will show how realistic such a situation can be in the present. It being a film, which is meant for a broad audience, will also have to be entertaining. The message however, has to be clear and shown to the public as a serious issue.

Partners:

Partners in such a project could be young film students who want to work on a project which could be realised without being too ambitious. To help realise the film, individuals from communities in which radicalisation is present could also provide information on how this has its effects in present society. Of course, contact with such individuals must be made cautiously, for this might possibly endanger them. Netflix can be a platform which might want to show such a film, although such a film might be too controversial. The funds for a film like this are relatively low, it is however essential to have a good budget. This budget could be acquired through crowdfunding if presented to the public on the Internet (for example: Kickstarter). This would even allow for international funding or perhaps big donators.

Market:   

The film is meant for everyone who is interested in the process of radicalisation within western society. It is meant to show how this process works in certain layers of society and that it is happening in contemporary times. Elements which will be shown in the film will make it clear that this process has many ‘human’ sides to it, which make it tangible for people who do not understand how this process works. Essentially, the film is intended mostly for the people that do not fully understand why and how radicalisation works within western societies.

Steps:

1: Contact possible publishers and people with experience in the film industry with a pitch.

2: Build up funds for the film.

3: Compose a team of people who will write and help realise the project and all its practicalities.

4: Create the film itself.

5: Advertise

6: Publish the film (Netflix?)

7: Continue to contribute to the debate.
