LONDON: The Qatar based Al Jazeera TV is going to broadcast a documentary on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina made by international eminent journalist late David Frost.
It will be broadcasted at GMT 20:00 on September 20, said sources concerned.
This is the last documentary film made by David Frost. For collection of the information making the documentary, he visited Bangladesh in June this year.
Meanwhile, he visited Bangabandhu’s grave in Tungipara of Gopalganj along with the premier and interviewed her and her son Sajeeb Wajed joy.
There was confusion about the finishing of the documentary but Frost completed it in his life span.
Bangladesh embassy to London also confirmed the matter to banglanews that the documentary would be broadcasted on September 20.
The 47.36 minutes-long documentary starts with “Sheikh Hasina, the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, one of the most powerful women in the world.”
He had several meetings with High Commissioner and Information Minister for gathering information to make the documentary.
David Frost was the man who first took Bangabandhu’s first interview as a leader of independent Bangladesh.
Sir David Frost, 74, the veteran broadcaster whose television career over six decades encompassed satire, gameshows and the celebrated interviews in which Richard Nixon apologised for Watergate, has died after suffering a heart attack aboard a cruise ship.
For the BBC, he hosted the Sunday morning interview programme Breakfast with Frost from 1993 to 2005. He spent two decades as host of Through the Keyhole. From 2006 to 2012 he hosted the weekly programme Frost Over the World on Al Jazeera English and from 2012, the weekly programme The Frost Interview.
Frost was the only person to have interviewed all eight British prime ministers serving between 1964 and 2010 (Harold Wilson, Edward Heath, James Callaghan, Margaret Thatcher, John Major, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and David Cameron) and all seven US presidents in office between 1969 and 2008 (Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush).
