Wide Angle

WIDE ANGLE is the only program  on television exclusively dedicated to international current affairs documentaries. For each broadcast, producers and journalists from around the globe report on an event, issue or trend through the eyes of the people who are living it day to day. In its first six seasons, WIDE ANGLE traveled to more than 50 countries to explore the forces that are shaping the world today, presenting global stories on a human scale and offering Americans uncommon and invaluable insight into today's interconnected world. The Under-Told Stories Project team has produced two documentaries for the program. Democracy in the Rough took us to the Democratic Republic of Congo to witness their first free election in 45 years. The Dying Fields takes a closer look at the rash of farmer suicides in India's cotton belt. Democracy in the Rough won a Silver Plaque for Investigative Reporting/News Documentary at the 43rd Chicago International Television Awards and a 2007 Insight Award for Excellence in film and digital media arts.  The Dying Fields was awarded a 2008 Cine Golden Eagle Award.
