Archer’s Valley: Hungary’s Horseback Archery
In a misty valley in southern Hungary, warriors ride again.
Eighty archers from fifteen nations gather every two years to honor a tradition once thought lost — the ancient art of horseback archery.
Led by **Lajos Kassai**, the man who revived this centuries-old skill, the **Kassai Method** has turned Hungary into the global heart of mounted archery. It’s not just a sport — it’s a philosophy of balance, focus, and connection.
From South Africa to China, competitors come to test their courage, and their calm.
Because here, it’s not just about hitting the target — it’s about finding yourself in the ride.

Skyward Symphony: Cranes Migration
Each autumn, tens of thousands of cranes migrate from Northern Europe to Africa — but this year, something changed.
In Hungary’s Hortobágy National Park, record numbers of cranes have decided to stay. Warmer temperatures and abundant food are keeping nearly 200,000 birds grounded, rewriting a centuries-old migration pattern.
Pablo Gutierrez travels to the heart of Hungary’s Great Plain to meet park ranger Attila Szilágyi, who explains how climate change is reshaping the behavior of these majestic travelers — and why some may now call Hungary home year-round.

🇩🇰 The Brave Dane: A Forgotten Hero
In 1937, a young Danish adventurer named Bernhard Arp Sindberg found himself in the middle of one of history’s darkest chapters — the Nanjing Massacre.
Working as a guard at a Danish cement factory on the edge of Nanjing, Sindberg used nothing more than a Danish flag and his own courage to protect thousands of Chinese civilians from Japan’s invading army.
While his heroism has long been remembered in China, few in his homeland of Denmark ever knew his name — until now.
Pablo Gutierrez travels to Aarhus, Denmark, to meet Sindberg’s family and those working to ensure his legacy is never forgotten.
A story of courage, compassion, and one man’s quiet defiance in the face of atrocity.

The Vanishing Villages of Hungary
In Martonyi, near Hungary’s northern border, silence has replaced the sound of children’s laughter.
Once home to 700 people, fewer than 300 remain. The school is gone, the shops are closing, and the young have left for the cities or abroad.
Pablo Gutierrez visits the last shopkeeper, the mayor trying to keep hope alive, and the elderly residents who refuse to leave the only home they’ve ever known.
This is the story of one Hungarian village — and the quiet crisis facing hundreds like it.
Where beauty endures, but life is slowly slipping away.

Slovakia’s Flying Car Ready for Takeoff
It started in a vineyard — and ended in the sky.
In Slovakia, winemaker Eduard Sebo and inventor Stefan Klein joined forces to build something the world once thought impossible: a **car that flies**.
After 30 years of development and over 200 successful test flights, their creation — the Klein Vision AirCar — is now certified for European airspace and is heading into full production in China.
Pablo Gutierrez visits Modra and Nitra, Slovakia, to meet the men behind the dream — one rooted in centuries of tradition, the other driven by a lifetime of invention — and to witness a new chapter of Slovak innovation take flight.

Can AI Replace Dubbing Artists?
Hungary has one of Europe’s biggest dubbing industries — where thousands of actors lend their voices to movies, TV shows, and documentaries every year.
But now, many fear their voices could be replaced by artificial intelligence.
From Budapest studios to sound labs experimenting with voice cloning, Pablo Gutierrez meets the people on both sides of a growing debate:
🎧 Voice actors fighting to protect their craft — and their livelihoods.
🤖 Engineers pushing the limits of technology to resurrect lost voices and cut costs.
Can AI truly capture the emotion, tone, and artistry of a human performance?
Or will it silence one of Hungary’s most creative industries?

Harvard Dreams on Hold? How Trump’s Visa Plan Shakes a Budapest Institute
In a quiet building in Budapest, the Milestone Institute has spent years helping Hungarian students reach what once felt impossible: admission to Harvard and other top universities.
Since 2010, this small program has opened doors to places like Harvard, Yale, and Columbia — often for students coming from regular Hungarian public schools.
But now, former U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed visa ban for international students is casting a shadow over those ambitions.
Pablo Gutierrez visits Milestone to meet:
📚 Andor Kelenhegyi, academic director, who has watched students make it from Budapest classrooms to the world’s elite campuses.
🎓 Harvard alumnus András Vágvölgyi, who warns that shutting out foreign students sends a damaging message to global education.
👩🎓 The next generation of Hungarian teens, still studying, still hoping — unsure if the road will lead to the U.S., or somewhere else.
In this corner of Budapest, they keep showing up, keep learning, and keep believing.
Because dreams, even in uncertain times, don’t stop at borders.

How Trump’s 100% Film Tax Could Hit Hungary
For years, Budapest has been known as “Hollywood on the Danube” — a thriving film hub where studios like Apple and Netflix produce blockbuster movies and series with world-class Hungarian crews and a 30% tax rebate.
Now, that success story faces a plot twist.
Former U.S. President **Donald Trump** has proposed a **100% tariff on films made outside the United States**, a move that could reshape the global movie business and put pressure on countries like Hungary that host American productions.
From the sets of Hero Squared to Hungary’s newly expanded studios, Pablo Gutierrez hears from producers and economists about what’s really at stake:
🎥 Could tariffs freeze nearly $910 million in annual production spending?
🎭 What happens to thousands of local jobs if Hollywood pulls back?
🌍 And can a global industry built on cross-border collaboration survive a new wave of protectionism?
For now, cameras are still rolling in Budapest.
But many here worry that decisions made in Washington could soon rewrite the script.

Rebuilding Royal Hungary
High above the Danube, Hungary’s iconic Buda Castle is being brought back to life.
Once home to kings and queens, the castle was nearly destroyed during World War II. Now, under Hungary’s ambitious Hauszmann Program, architects, historians, and craftsmen are restoring it to its former royal splendor — using original blueprints, archival photos, and fragments rescued from the ruins.
Pablo Gutierrez explores how the reconstruction of landmarks like Saint Stephen’s Hall and the castle’s new Cupola is reviving not just a building, but a nation’s pride.
From forgotten walls to shining copper domes, this project is giving history a second life — one stone, one room, and one story at a time.

Hungarian- Romanian Borderland Hotspot
A long Hungary’s border with Romania, the small spa town of Gyula is changing fast.
Since Romania joined Europe’s border-free Schengen zone, Gyula has gone from a sleepy castle-and-spa getaway to a place where people come to invest, retire… and start over.
Reporter Pablo Gutierrez meets:
🏡 Eva Kun and her family, who left Romania to buy a fixer-upper in Hungary for around $22,000 — a fraction of what a similar home would cost back home.
📈 A local real estate agent who says interest from Romanians has exploded, with property searches in Gyula up 90%.
⛺ And Louis Van Balen, a former record executive now investing nearly 20 million euros into an affordable yurt-and-wellness retreat aimed at families and older adults.
With real estate still cheaper than in nearby Romanian cities, hot springs, a 15th-century brick castle, and new investments flowing in, Gyula is quietly turning into one of the border region’s most attractive places to live and work.

Europe's Love forPuzzles
It's International Puzzle Day and in Hungary, the birthplace of the Rubik’s Cube, puzzling has taken on a whole new shape.
In a tiny shop on a leafy street in Budapest, designer Nora Semsey creates jigsaw puzzles with hidden stories and Hungarian themes. Her work has become so popular it’s now used in international competitions.
From there, Pablo Gutierrez takes us inside the first-ever European Jigsaw Puzzle Championship in Budapest, where nearly 200 competitors from across Europe race the clock to complete 500-piece puzzles.
We meet:
🧩 Nora Semsey, whose original designs are turning puzzling into art.
🧠 Competitors like Aaron from the UK and Mariana from Portugal, who say puzzles are their therapy, focus, and daily training.
Fifty years after Hungary gave the world the Rubik’s Cube, it’s now at the heart of a softer puzzle boom — one piece, one story, and one quiet victory at a time.

Europe’s Steel Crisis
In the Hungarian city of Dunaújváros, the furnaces of Dunaferr, once the country’s largest steel plant, have gone cold.
For decades, Dunaferr wasn’t just a factory — it was the heartbeat of an entire community. Now, as Europe’s steel industry faces rising energy costs, tight environmental rules, and the threat of new U.S. tariffs, thousands of jobs and livelihoods hang in the balance.
Pablo Gutierrez travels to Dunaújváros to meet workers and families caught in the downturn.
👷♂️ Gábor Győri, a veteran steelworker, reflects on what was once a secure future now turned uncertain.
💬 Union leaders warn that without stronger European support, the continent’s steel sector could collapse under global pressure.
🌍 Meanwhile in Brussels, leaders debate how to protect one of Europe’s oldest and most strategic industries.
For the people of Dunaújváros, steel is more than metal — it’s history, identity, and home.
And right now, home is slipping away.

Hungary’s Wildest Patients
Wings shattered. Bones cracked. From city streets to deep forests, Hungary’s injured wildlife arrives at one place for a second chance: the Budapest Zoo Wildlife Clinic.
Pablo Gutierrez goes inside Hungary’s largest rescue center with head veterinarian Dr. Endre Só́s, who has spent 30 years treating owls, storks, hedgehogs, bats—and even venomous vipers. Last year alone, the clinic cared for more than 2,600 animals from 127 species. About half are birds; the rest are small mammals and reptiles. Some return to the wild. Others become ambassadors that teach visitors about conservation and the costs of human impact.
The team’s work spans rescue and research—from tracking released eagles to partnering on field programs for rare species like imperial eagles, wildcats, and Hungarian vipers. Inside the zoo, Pablo meets “Shamu,” a four-year-old elephant battling EEHV, a deadly herpesvirus in young Asian elephants. Early detection, antivirals, and life-saving blood transfusions from herd mates have put Shamu on the road to recovery.
Big or small, every life gets the same care—one bandage, one surgery, one release at a time.

Ukrainian Refugee Reclaims His Football Dream in Hungary | Pablo Gutierrez Reports
YouTube description:
At 19, midfielder Dmitrij Nazarenko fled the siege of Mariupol with a single goal: keep his football dream alive. After a harrowing escape through Donetsk and across Russia, he reached Budapest—where Hungarian Interchurch Aid found him housing, a sponsor, and a path back onto the pitch.
With introductions to clubs, Dmitrij earned a place at MOL Fehérvár FC. The first weeks were tough—new language, new league, and then an injury at the start of the season. But the dream isn’t over; it’s on pause. With support from mentor Kristóf Gács and the local community, Dmitrij is training to return stronger.
He still hopes to play again one day in his hometown, in a stadium filled with fans—and peace.

Hungary’s Goosebumps Festival
As winter’s chill settles over Hungary, the Goosebumps Festival brings warmth, laughter, and centuries-old Saint Martin’s Day traditions to life.
Reporter Pablo Gutierrez takes you to the vineyards of Etyek, just outside Budapest, where hundreds gather to cheer on the country’s most unlikely athlete; Lady Gaga, Hungary’s reigning champion goose. 🦢🇭🇺
The festival marks Saint Martin’s Day, honoring the 4th-century bishop who, legend says, once hid among geese , only to be betrayed by their honking. Today, those same honks signal the start of 17 days of feasting and festivity across Hungary.
From slow-roasted goose and rich foie gras to new wines from the Rókusfalvy Estate the Goosebumps Festival celebrates food, friendship, and heritage.
Chef Krisztián Balogh of Budapest’s Vak Varjú restaurant reveals the secret behind the perfect goose confit: six hours of slow cooking in its own fat.
And as the sun dips over the Etyek hills, Lady Gaga crosses the finish line first — once again proving that some Hungarian traditions never lose their charm.

Reporter Pablo Gutierrez takes you to the vineyards of Etyek, just outside Budapest, where hundreds gather to cheer on the country’s most unlikely athlete; Lady Gaga, Hungary’s reigning champion goose. 🦢🇭🇺
The festival marks Saint Martin’s Day, honoring the 4th-century bishop who, legend says, once hid among geese , only to be betrayed by their honking. Today, those same honks signal the start of 17 days of feasting and festivity across Hungary.
From slow-roasted goose and rich foie gras to new wines from the Rókusfalvy Estate the Goosebumps Festival celebrates food, friendship, and heritage.
Chef Krisztián Balogh of Budapest’s Vak Varjú restaurant reveals the secret behind the perfect goose confit: six hours of slow cooking in its own fat.
And as the sun dips over the Etyek hills, Lady Gaga crosses the finish line first — once again proving that some Hungarian traditions never lose their charm.

River Sharks Take a Bite Out of Pollution
River Sharks: Kolodko’s Sculptures Take a Bite Out of Pollution | Pablo Gutierrez Reports
YouTube Description:
They look like predators from the deep, but these sharks aren’t swimming — they’re standing guard along the banks of the Danube River.
In Hungary, acclaimed sculptor Mihály Kolodko, often compared to Banksy for his provocative street art, has turned river waste into striking works of environmental activism. His latest series, Danube Sharks, is made entirely from plastic, metal, and debris collected from the Danube — one of Europe’s longest and most polluted rivers.
Kolodko, a Ukrainian-born artist who moved to Hungary after the war began, says each sculpture is a “time capsule” of what humanity is discarding.
“I aimed for my sculptures to feel raw and make people question — why are we polluting?” he told Pablo Gutierrez.
The Danube carries up to 1,500 tons of plastic waste into the Black Sea every year. Through his River Sharks, Kolodko wants people to face the damage hidden beneath the surface — and remember what’s at stake.

Snake Jewelry Slithers Back Into Fashion |
As the Year of the Snake begins, ancient symbols are finding new life in modern fashion. In Hungary, designers are embracing the snake motif — a timeless emblem of wisdom, transformation, and renewal.
Jewelry artist Kinga Horanyi says her fascination with serpents began in childhood, when she dreamed of a giant snake protecting her from nightmares. Today, she crafts elegant pieces in Budapest that carry the same meaning of protection and energy.
At the Hungarian National Museum, archaeologist Zsuzsa Hegedus reveals a pair of 5th-century golden serpents once owned by a noblewoman of the Hun Empire — treasures buried during a time of unrest and later recovered from the Danube River after a dramatic police chase.
From ancient artifacts to contemporary creations, the snake continues to inspire — a symbol of change and resilience that transcends time and culture.

The Bogányi: Reinventing the Grand Piano
A Hungarian virtuoso is redefining one of the world’s most iconic instruments.
For centuries, the grand piano remained largely unchanged — until Gergely Bogányi, an internationally acclaimed pianist, decided to transform it. Dissatisfied with the sound and feel of traditional instruments, Bogányi spent two decades reimagining the piano from the inside out.
His creation — the Bogányi Piano — features a revolutionary carbon fiber soundboard, delivering unparalleled resonance and clarity. With a sleek, futuristic design balanced on just two curved legs, it looks as bold as it sounds.
“Carbon fiber alone wouldn’t work,” Bogányi explains. “It’s the combination that allows the notes to go on and on.”
Only 22 of these handcrafted pianos exist worldwide, including one gifted to Finland’s government for its independence anniversary. Each carries not just innovation, but national pride.
“It’s a great honor to serve Hungarian culture and music,” Bogányi says.
Now, with two compact prototypes in development, the Bogányi Piano continues to push the boundaries of sound, design, and tradition — proving that even perfection can evolve.

China’s Terracotta Army in Hungary
China’s ancient guardians have arrived in Hungary.
In the southern city of Szeged, visitors are coming face to face with one of the world’s most extraordinary legacies — the Terracotta Army. The exhibition, hosted at the Móra Ferenc Museum, showcases over 50 life-sized warrior replicas made from the same clay as the originals, alongside rare artifacts from China’s Han Dynasty.
“The goal is to bring Chinese culture closer to the Hungarian public,” says curator Dr. Szabolcs Felföldi. “There is little awareness about China’s history and culture in this region of Hungary.”
The display not only celebrates ancient craftsmanship but also traces the evolution of global exchange — from the Silk Road that connected Asia and Europe over 2,000 years ago to today’s Belt and Road Initiative, which marks its 10th anniversary.
“It was essential for us to display authentic copies,” adds Dr. Felföldi. “The artisans created unbelievably realistic versions of the original warrior army.”
From jade burial armor to artifacts of the Asian Huns, each piece tells a story of trade, diplomacy, and shared humanity — reminders that the bridges between East and West were built long before modern times.

Harmony and Hope: A Program Changing Lives
In some of Hungary’s most disadvantaged communities, music is giving children a voice — and a future.
The Szimfónia Program has been transforming lives for over a decade, bringing instruments, mentorship, and purpose to schools across the country. What began as a social inclusion project has grown into a national movement, with more than a thousand children learning to play violins, brass, percussion, and strings.
“This program started 12 years ago to integrate children from marginalized communities,” says conductor and mentor Erno Báder. “Using music and instruments, we connect with the kids to understand their needs and support them.”
For many of these children, it’s the first time they’ve ever held a musical instrument. Yet today, they’re performing on Hungary’s most prestigious stages — and, more importantly, finding community, confidence, and joy.
“We’ve created safe spaces where kids can share their thoughts freely,” Báder adds. “Their stories become part of our own.”
As the music swells in classrooms across Hungary, the Szimfónia Program continues to prove that harmony isn’t just something you hear — it’s something you build, together.

A Taste of Tradition: Chinese Tea Culture
In Budapest, the ancient art of Chinese tea is brewing new connections.
At Leaf Tea House, run by tea master Ferenc Liu and his family, centuries of Chinese tea culture come alive in the heart of Hungary. From warming the cups to the graceful pouring of each infusion, every movement honors tradition — and invites guests to slow down in a fast-paced world.
Most of the visitors aren’t Chinese but Hungarians and travelers, drawn to the ritual and tranquility of the gongfu tea ceremony. For many, it’s more than just a drink — it’s an experience of mindfulness, hospitality, and cultural exchange.
“Everything has a ritual aspect — it’s quite visible in the tea ceremony,” says curator Gabor Wilhelm. “Some in Europe think of Japan, but the origin is in China.”
From China to Budapest, tea continues to bridge cultures — one cup, one story, one conversation at a time.

East Meets West: Contemporary Chinese Art
At the Hungarian National Museum, an extraordinary art exhibition is bridging continents — and philosophies.
The “Chinese Xieyi Exhibition” features 58 works by modern Chinese artists who blend centuries-old brush painting traditions with Western artistic influences that began shaping China in the 1970s and 80s. From delicate ink on rice paper to bold contemporary sculptures, each piece explores the balance between human emotion and nature.
“Western art aims to reflect reality,” says curator Tünde Fegyvári-Komori. “But Chinese art strives to express the essence — what the artist feels and perceives.”
For many visitors, this harmony of styles offers a rare chance to experience the meditative depth of Chinese art. “It’s breathtaking,” one said. “It makes you feel very calm.”
Through its themes of meaning, form, and interest, the exhibition invites reflection — and reminds us that art, much like nature, transcends borders.

Unearthing Ancient Flavors
What did fine dining look like 3,000 years ago in China?
A new exhibition at Hungary’s Museum of Ethnography is giving visitors a rare taste of history, showcasing how ancient Chinese food shaped culture, ritual, and society. Created in collaboration with the Shanghai Museum, the exhibition “Fine Dining: Food Stories of Ancient China” features more than 150 artifacts, from bronze wine vessels and ceramic platters to ancient cooking tools.
“This exhibition is about much more than food,” says curator Gábor Wilhelm. “It’s about understanding how meals connected families, honored ancestors, and reflected the balance between people and nature.”
Visitors can walk through interactive banquet displays, explore how staple crops like rice and millet sustained dynasties, and discover the cultural symbolism behind every ingredient.
Hungary, with its own rich culinary traditions, now serves as the perfect setting for this East-meets-West experience — a reminder that food is more than nourishment. It’s art, heritage, and a bridge between civilizations.

La otra pandemia que golpea a Nueva York
Durante la pandemia de coronavirus, los recortes presupuestarios en Nueva York redujeron el servicio de recolección de basura, y las consecuencias no tardaron en notarse. Con menos cuadrillas recogiendo los desechos, las calles se llenaron de basura y las ratas se multiplicaron en distintos vecindarios.
Según un reportaje de Telemundo 47, muchos residentes han tenido que limpiar e higienizar sus propias calles para evitar plagas y enfermedades. La crisis sanitaria dejó al descubierto lo esencial que son los servicios públicos de limpieza y salud, especialmente en tiempos de emergencia.
