This acclaimed series delivers up-to-the-minute reports from global hotspots to give American television viewers a unique forum for understanding the complex, often dramatic, sometimes explosive and always relevant stories that are shaping the present and future of the world. Each program focuses on a single subject, bringing to life international events and issues that matter to Americans today - from global epidemics to economic development and matters related to the war on terrorism. "Wide Angle" offers character-driven narratives while eschewing on-camera correspondents, think-tank analysts or talking heads. At the end of each documentary, anchor Daljit Dhaliwal conducts an interview or presents a short essay to "connect the dots" and offer greater insight into how the subject matter of the program affects Americans.
