From: David Ritsher <[log in to unmask]> 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 For a preview -- http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/preview/703/ David Ritsher Coordinating Producer/Editor FRONTLINE/World 2481 Hearst Ave, Berkeley, CA 94709 510-643-3065 [log in to unmask] FRONTLINE/World <http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld>
