This edition of PBS' international newsmagazine includes a
harrowing report from Iran, where reporter Jane Kokan risks her
life to secretly film shocking evidence of a government-sponsored
reign of terror. In "Forbidden Iran," Kokan escapes the
constant surveillance of the Iranian authorities to record
exclusive interviews detailing the systematic torture and execution
of students opposed to the current regime.
PBS's premier international newsmagazine once again turns its
lens on the global community with stories reported by a new
generation of talented video journalists that take viewers to
countries and cultures rarely covered by the mainstream media.
PBS' international newsmagazine reports on the explosive growth
of AIDS in India, where it is projected that some 25 million people
will be infected by 2010 if drastic actions aren't taken to stem
the spread of the disease. The program offers viewers a tale
of two cities: Bombay, where more than 60 percent of the city's sex
workers are infected with HIV; and Calcutta, where a community
outreach project has kept the infection rate among sex workers to
approximately 10 percent. Also featured: an intimate portrait
of one of the hundreds of Mexican migrants to die each year
attempting to cross the U.S. border in search of work; and a visit
to Shanghai by night, where an underground art and youth scene is
testing the limits of government tolerance.
