Middle East Panorama, Amrita TV’s new Gulf-aligned show, is a collection
of current affairs stories that offer a casement to the Arab world and gives
new insights into the lives of Keralite expatriates residing in the Persian
Gulf countries. The latest addition to Amrita
TV’s overseas
programme line-up, the half hour weekly show will be telecast every Thursday
at 10.30pm, UAE time.(12 PM IST)
Middle East Panorama pans across the vista of Malayalee existence in
the peninsula and records moments from the lives that unfold beneath the
glitter of the desert paradise- of the laborers,
the semi skilled workers and blue collar employees who subsist on a mere pittance,
in dismal conditions to support their families back home and return empty-handed
, once their contract expires. Visiting the vegetable vendors, fish market
sellers, potters etc in their workplace, it documents the difficulties and
travails of eking out a living, the uncertainty that always looms over their
future, their fears of being terminated abruptly.
Tucked in
between these slices of authentic narratives are intriguing vignettes of
amazing souls who, like fireflies light up the lives of others, ordinary
laborers who set apart money from their meager incomes to help those in need .Interesting news
feature snippets that acquaint us with the developments, events and
advancements of the region also make
it to the segments of the show.
Through these
images of unclothed reality, the programme sketches Gulf life as it really is,
in tints of black ,white and shades of grey, to serve as eye opener to the
world of the
Non- Resident
Keralite.
