There's a really interesting documentary, "The World According to Sesame Street" (http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/worldaccordingtosesamestreet/), about local Sesame Street productions attempts' to address HIV, ethnic tensions, and other major social issues in South Africa, Bangladesh, and Kosovo, while at the same time avoiding backlash and cultural imperialism. Those are mentioned in passing in the article, I'm surprised the documentary isn't.
