Rallies held for poisoned Iranian schoolgirls, Oscars streaming debate | The World This Weekend

Demonstrators gathered around the world to demand global support for the girls and women in Iran, thousands of whom are believed to have been deliberately poisoned while at school. Also, streaming services are often thought of as a competitor for the movie theatre experience, but as we near this year's Academy Awards, some see streaming as a benefit because it keeps films in the conversation longer.

These are just some of the top stories on the March 11, 2023 edition of The World This Weekend.

The World This Weekend is a dynamic half-hour program on CBC Radio that showcases first-rate journalism on the news of the day from Canada and around the world. We tell stories you won't hear anywhere else that connect you with remote places and people.
