45:53Now PlayingAs tens of thousands of protester sweep across Turkey for the 5th consecutive day, Executive Producer Daniel Marans talks with Sean Hobbs, editor and founder of Istanbulvoices.org and Samet Atasoy, a student and contributor to Turkish LGBT blog kaosgl.com living in Ankara. Are the protests a result of a secular nationalist backlash against Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his neoliberal Islamist AK Party? Or do they represent a broad coalition of religious and secular; liberal and progressive; nationalist and Kurdish rights activists? Sean and Samet are convinced that the protests have already changed Turkey. The joyful community that previously apolitical people have built attests to the movement's cultural--not just political--staying power.
