Christiane Amanpour Sex & Love Around the World

This series could've been really interesting, unfortunately great swathes of her interviews are answered in various languages with no subtitles or translation. Weird.

It was very interesting to see the the different trends in different cultures however cannot help but notice she chooses only the progressive subcultures as representations. Her Berlin episode with the the afghani couple confirmed to me how short sighted she was and quite ignorant unfortunately. She kept asking the lady if anyone ever told her her own happiness was important. her questions reveal a very ethnocentric view which I suppose someone like her having the job she has could be expected to naturally operate beyond that. She goes on to say the woman looks very scared being asked that question not considering that she was instead offended by the individualistic mentality she pushed forward. Some cultures are more of collectivists that individualistic and this is such a basic distinction anyone interested in culture ought to keep in mind. Her ignorance whether staged or not was annoying and made the show lose credibility. A shame really because she had access to resources that could have added depth to the subject.

I loved this documentary so much because you can understand the people, culture and everything about a country. I wish to see more cities & countries. I really enjoyed with Beirut during I was watching. A little sad also of course. Worth watching documentary. Amanpour is a great personality and she gives details with objective perspective.

All the negative comments are commenting on the age of the interviewer, insulting the female interviewer for different shallow reasons, complaining about how the focus is on women, how the only good men here are queer men etc. Dumb reasons to give this show a low rating.

Watch this show for yourself. It's very well done and very interesting.

The subject sounded quite cool to me: talking in an open manner about different ways to look at sex and intimacy, depending on cultural differences. However, the interviewer seems uncomfortable with her own subject. Every time someone says a thing about sex, she reacts like it is weird or shocking. Open means that someone can ask questions or give answers without fear of judgement by others. But, by her facial expressions, she shows that she does judge, making us judge as well.
