De Ridder

This series is about Helena De Ridder, a young and ambitious prosecutor who not only leads the police investigation, but also performs legal research and presents her case in court. She is the only one that follows the entire legal procedure in each case from start to finish. She is a girl on a mission, trying to do the right thing, but also learning that it is not always clear what ‘the right thing to do’ actually is. By presenting these dilemmas at the right moment in the form of a poll in the second screen environment, viewers are asked to take a stand. After they voted themselves, they can see live how the rest of the public is voting, often resulting in interesting poll figures that form a good base for debate. On the conceptual level we worked on two axes: deepening the viewing experience via emotional and rational extensions. A unique second screen experince in html 5 was specially developed and launched as a webapp.
