Very interesting documentary

Warning: Spoilers
This is a very interesting documentary which shows the social impact of Turkish TV shows on Turkish, Arab and Greek audiences. It emphasizes the empowerment of women that these shows and their female protagonists achieved. But in my opinion it lacks the Greek and Balkan side of the story, especially what kind of influence the Turkish shows made on women who are not living in patriarchal societies. The Greek part is too short to show the whole story. The short commentaries from famous Turkish actors and actresses was very interesting, as well as comments from real-life viewers (all female). This 45-minute documentary is worth watching. If you're Greek, try not to get upset.
