From 25 August 2025, the EO will broadcast a 4-part series announced in an article titled: 'New EO series on conspiracy thinking: 'this conspiracy is one of the biggest divisive issues'. Aline Terpstra, involved in the work of Friends of Esthers, was also approached to take part in this.  

She explains why she decided not to participate in the documentary: 

"Within our Foundation, we are very careful and generally self-restrained about participating in such broadcasts. The reason is that we test every media broadcast against the question: is this helpful or potentially harmful to the srm survivors we help and to other survivors? In doing so, we are alert to the fact that the information we provide in a documentary can easily be framed in such a way that the whole thing still discredits the truth which then works to the disadvantage of survivors." 

In line with the foundation's policy, Aline wrote the following to the EO at the time, in the email exchange about possible participation in the documentary:

'Is it possible to agree in writing that I can withdraw from the process and any recordings of me will be destroyed, without giving reasons? This could e.g. be on the grounds that along the way it becomes apparent that the documentary as a whole is, in our view, to the detriment of survivors of organised abuse? Or if, in our judgment, my statements are placed in such a context that it will damage the trust that some survivors place in our foundation, or for other reasons that we may not be able to explain.'

Because the EO did not want to go along with this, Aline, in consultation with the Friends of Esthers board, decided not to cooperate in any way with this documentary, see here The e-mail exchange with the EO about this. To our surprise, the EO nevertheless chose, without consultation, to use earlier footage in which Aline talks about srm. The EO was sent an email written urging him to remove it from the documentary.

We have not yet seen the documentary at the time of publication of this blog, however, the announcement does not make us feel hopeful. In it, we read, among other things, that "eventually the mistrust - towards the government, justice and also doctors and journalists - spreads to everyone, threatening people".

On the other hand, I don't read anything about srm victims being threatened, abused and even tortured anywhere. Do they get recognition in the series? My heart goes out to them! Or do their lives actually not matter? It seems not, when I read: 'We don't want to prove or disprove the story about srm'. In fact, a documentary about the 'worst conspiracy we can think of' already suggests that it is not true. I had hoped for a documentary about 'the worst evil that can happen to people, even in the Netherlands'. Survivors we know write about it on www.lichtopsrm.com and in the prayer letters found at  www.lichtoplevens.nl, and portray it in the book I am Who.

We hope and pray, that justice will come to those who are denied a voice and entangled in the clutches of satanic cults, and that courageous people will continue to work to expose this evil. And that Christians and Christian organisations (including broadcasters) in particular do not look away but cooperate to bring the truth to light and thereby support the survivors. Satanic ritual abuse is a diabolical evil. We deeply realise that we need the help of Jesus the Messiah to help survivors get free and recover.
