Independent world television is TV programming from countries around the world that isn't sponsored or controlled by any one government. It can be from places like India, Japan, or Canada, and it shows us what's going on in other places outside of our own country. We can see what different cultures look like and what different beliefs people have all around the world. We can even learn languages and different ways people dress and act. It's a fun and exciting way to learn about other cultures and get a better understanding of the world.
