==================BBC World Service - Death To America================== First broadcast May 2007 Series Producer: Julia Hayball Around the world, by every measure, America's reputation and image has never been so poor. Perceptions have shifted and attitudes have soured, but this is not just a problem between the US and the Islamic world Links (direct download): Part One - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/documentary_archive/6588603.stm Part Two - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/documentary_archive/6619255.stm More Documentarys - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/documentary_archive/ ********************* *Part One: Venezuela* ********************* Duration: 21:11 Bitrate: 56 kbps Channels: mono Samplerate: 44100 Encoder: FhG In this first of two programmes, journalist, broadcaster and American, Michael Goldfarb, looks at the rise of global anti-Americanism and tries to gauge the scale of the mood shift and understand why feelings are running high. In Venezuela, Michael looks at the tortured history of the US and Latin America, from the Nixon era to the present day. He also attempts to unravel the complex politics driving Venezuela's president Hugo Chavez's stand against US president George W Bush. ****************** *Part Two: Turkey* ****************** Duration: 21:42 Bitrate: 56 kbps Channels: mono Samplerate: 44100 Encoder: FhG In this second programme, journalist and broadcaster, Michael Goldfarb, travels to Istanbul to continue his investigations. Here he finds a marked downturn in attitudes. Turkey is a secular democracy and Muslim nation. It sits geographically and politically between East and West and as recently as 2000, Turks had a comparatively favourable view of the US. A more recent survey showed that now just 12% of Turks see the US in a positive light. As popular culture, cinema and books begin to reflect this change, Goldfarb asks what can be done to restore trust.
