Michiel Vos

Michiel Vos gladly takes you behind the scenes, into the heart of American politics. He brings inequality of opportunity in the country to the table, asks critical questions, and is not afraid to break taboos through his work. He wrote about it in his book Vos in de VS. Looking for a speaker or moderator who paints an honest picture of America and its role in world politics? We are happy to connect you with U.S. correspondent Michiel Vos. Background Michiel Vos is originally a lawyer but decided to change course and become a journalist. It began in 2000 with an internship with Max Westerman during the U.S. presidential elections. From 2004 to 2015, he could be heard weekly as America correspondent on the program Ruuddewild.nl. He also works as a correspondent for VRT (the Dutch-language public broadcaster for radio and television in Belgium), Eén Vandaag (NPO 1), and Goedemorgen Nederland (KRO, Radio 1). In 2006, he appeared several times as America correspondent on the final season of Barend & Van Dorp at Talpa. For VPRO, he is a presenter of special film evenings on Nederland 3. Since 2016, he has also been one of the regular guests on the talk show RTL Late Night. As a speaker and moderator, he shares his expertise in business, management, policy, politics, culture, and the U.S. elections. America Michiel has been living in America for ten years and shows the country through his own eyes. In 2014, VPRO aired the television documentary My America. He presents the world of the rich and powerful, such as his own American family, but also the country of the very poor, for whom the so-called American Dream often turns out to be a nightmare. He contrasts the America of the super-rich “1%” with that of the poor or impoverished “99%,” and notes that, as “a kid from Groningen,” he feels uncomfortable with the extremes of this wealth gap. In addition, he regularly takes part in political panels from the NASDAQ stock exchange in Times Square. Together with Beau van Erven Dorens, Michiel Vos appears in the popular Videoland series Beau en Michiel in Amerika. Documentary maker Michiel is a documentary filmmaker at American HBO together with his wife Alexandra Pelosi. Together they made the HBO documentaries The Trials of Ted Haggard, about the fallen pastor and evangelical leader from Colorado, and Right America: Feeling Wronged..
