Theatre and community education

Description:
This paper explores ways of making a more realistic use of television in the Third World. It argues for TV programmes in which entertainment is combined with education. Noting some disappointment in the role TV has played in the Third World since it was introduced, the author observes that TV programmes from the West are agents of cultural imperialism. In his opinion, the problems facing Third World networks are neither technical nor artistic, but rather bureaucratic and political.
