Wide Angle (TV series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wide Angle is a weekly one-hour PBS series hosted by Bill Moyers and broadcast via the WNET PBS station since 2002. The show prides itself in covering international affairs and its motto is "Six billion people. 200 countries. Somebody's got to cover it." It follows the format of showing independent documentaries about a foreign country followed by in-depth discussion between Moyers and an expert on the issue and country being discussed. Previous hosts include former Assistant Secretary of State James Rubin, Daljit Dhaliwal, Mishal Husain and Carol Marin.
