Fatmagul Finds Its Place On eVOD

Image
Fatmagul aired in 2018 on the now defunct eBella channel owned by eMedia Investments on the Openview and DStv platform. The series followed the story of a young woman from a coastal town who seeks revenge on a group of men who violated her while under the influence of drugs. Fatmagul was one of the first Turkish shows to air on eMedia's stable and since its success brought shows like The Girl Named Feriha, Matter Of Respect and Black Money Love. These were one of the first few shows to be dubbed in English.   We knew Fatmagul was a success but by the looks of Kuiertyd you can tell that these series pulled more viewers than most of the content found on eExtra and at the time most of their content were just rebroadcast from the DStv platform. Aside from viewership, the other reason could have been accessibility as there's not a lot of alternatives to these shows aside from kykNET and Timeless Dizi Channel which followed after Kuiertyd.   Fatmagul made history as i

The never ending Fate is coming to Zee One Another one of Zee World's programs The Vow was made available to the duplicate Zee One earlier in the year and before they could wrap up the story it was abruptly removed and replaced by another drama/disaster This Is Fate (Kundali Bhagya).

Angel Of The Poor Or Narco Saint, A Look Into Jesùs Malverde

Image
In Mexico's northwest, between the Sierra Madre mountains and the Pacific Ocean, the state of Sinaloa has been called the "cradle of the biggest [drug] traffickers Mexico as ever known." Its state capital, Culiacán, is the drug capital of the entire country. An average of two to three drug-related deaths are reported daily, and the drug violence between police and rival drug gangs is commonplace in the city. The children idolize either Culiacán native Julio César Chávez or the macho traffickers. However, just around the corner of the statehouse, on the wrong side of the railway tracks, a shrine exists as an amalgamation of the region's narcocultura and its Catholicism. There, homage is paid to Jesús Malverde, also called the narco-saint. A constant stream of people can usually be found there, placing candles near busts, leaving framed photographs of loved ones they wish healing or protection upon. One can pay for music to be played in thanks for bountiful harvests of
