PBS Wide Angle to air "Turkey's Tigers"

Tomorrow night at 9 p.m. on most PBS stations, including UNC-TV here in North Carolina, the independent documentary series "Wide Angle" will air "Turkey's Tigers," a film by directors Jon Alpert and Matthew O'Neill that will explore the complicated relationship between Islam and politics in Turkey. The program will contain interviews with many government officials, including Turkey's politically conservative prime minister, Abdullah Gul. The documentary was filmed in several locations, according to the "Wide Angle" web site, including Istanbul and Gul's native Kayseri in central Turkey. "Wide Angle" is hosted by Dalit Dhaliwal, of BBC News. The following week's "Wide Angle" will deal with kidnappings in Brazil.
