Valentijn Dhaenens and his Big Mouth

From Nine To Noon, 11:24 am on 15 March 2016

It's not what you say but how you say it that matters.

From Socrates to Martin Luther King and Osama bin Laden, Belgium's Valentijn Dhaenens pays homage to oration by using the best speeches of all time to show the power of words, for both good and evil. 

Whether they're spoken, shouted, or whispered he explores inspirational public speeches from the past 2,500 years.
