(ANSAmed) - ATHENS, OCTOBER 23 - Turkish soap operas have millions of fans all across the Balkans, the Middle East and North Africa and this is a well-known fact. But what remains largely unexplored, as daily Kathimerini notes, is how they have affected the social and religious lives of Muslim women, especially in the Arab world, and changed the way they see themselves and their role in society. The impact of Turkish soaps on Muslim women is the subject of a new Greek-Cypriot documentary by Nina Maria Paschalidou, which will be competing at the International Documentary Film Festival of Amsterdam (IDFA) from November 20 to December 1, the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (AMNA) reported. "Kismet" was filmed in Turkey, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Bulgaria and Greece.
