Waves of Fortune: China's Maritime Silk Road

Waves of Fortune: China's Maritime Silk Road

Throughout its long history, China has alternately opened its borders and walled itself from the outside world. Trade over land and sea that began two thousand years ago led to the formation of The Silk Road. Join anthropologist Ian McIntosh as he takes viewers on a fascinating visit to some of the key historical sites, as he reveals links between the past and the present.
