Dear SEELANGers:

My friend, who is a producer for Frontline World, asked me to forward  
this. I though members might like to watch.

Subject: Fwd: FRONTLINE/World Tonight on PBS (9pm in most places) --  
set your TIVO!


Tonight we have three very timely new stories on the latest edition  
of FRONTLINE/World, a series we are very proud to now be able to call  
Emmy-award winning!  All three stories were edited in our Berkeley  
offices and all three deal with the state of democracy in different  
countries around the world.  The first is a close look at the  
conflict in the Swat valley of Pakistan during this winters campaign  
season, and the resurgence of the Taliban in a region often  
overlooked by the Western press.  The second story is the one I have  
been focusing on this winter and is a portrait of politics in Russia  
in the last year of Putin's presidency.  And the third story profiles  
Los Carpinteros in Cuba, a conceptual art duo who have made a splash  
in the global art market with art that is subversive.  It is a great  
mix and, as always, I am very interested in hearing what you think.

I hope you get a chance to watch!

- David
