Soaps for Social Change

Last Friday, CBC radio show "The Current" discussed how soap operas can be used to bring about social change. The discussion touched on many interesting points on how soaps are making an impact around the world. Included were television soap NOOR and radio soap YEKEN KIGNI among others. TV Guide Canada's Nelson Branco was part of the discussion of soaps in North America, which seem to be lagging behind the rest of the world in terms of being a vehicle for social change. You can listen to this episode of "The Current" below.
