Lanzmann documentary on Holocaust to have its premiere on Turkish state TV
17 January 2012
Turkish TV station TRT will become the first state broadcaster in the Muslim world to air French director Claude Lanzmann's ten-hour-long documentary ‘Shoah'. The film on the extermination of European Jews has been subtitled for the first time in Turkish, Arabic and Persian. In March 2011, the Los Angeles-based ‘Pars TV’ satellite channel aired the Persian version for television viewers in Iran: While the regime there reacted with ire, viewers welcomed the initiative, and the station received close to 3,000 emails and calls in support of the broadcast, the Aladdin Project said in a statement.
