Review of Return to Shaklat

A well-produced piece about a little-known situation in a small village in Turkey. It would fit well into any program including international or development issues. Good use of sound to set the scene at the beginning and a good variety of voices tell the story in a straightforward manner. I'd prefer to hear a bit more of the actual voices before the voice-overs kick in. But the overall balance of narration and actuality is just right. However, I think a bit more context might be needed to set this up for listeners than the simple description provides.
