Death to america
Around the world, by every measure, America's reputation and image have never been so poor. In these documentaries produced for the BBC World Service, Michael Goldfarb looks at the rise of global anti-Americanism. He tries to gauge the scale of the mood shift and understand why feelings are running so high.
PART 1




Michael Goldfarb begins in Venezuela. He looks at the tortured history of the U.S. and Latin America, from the Nixon era to the present day. He also attempts to unravel the complex politics driving Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez's stand against President Bush.
PART 2






American journalist Michael Goldfarb travels to Turkey, a nation that sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, and is poised on the brink of membership in the European Union. As recently as 2000, Turks had a relatively favorable view of the U.S. A recent survey, however, shows that now just 12% of Turks see the U.S. in a positive light. As popular culture, cinema and books begin to reflect this change, Goldfarb asks what can be done to restore trust.
