CHINA EPISODE 2 - This second episode on China takes up the journey in Shanghai. From here our intrepid female adventurer, Susan Morkel, takes us on a meandering journey through the south of China. In far flung cliff-hugging villages everyone wears blue indigo clothing and dazzling silver that they make themselves. They live in awesome wooden houses and eat stuff that would leave you stunned. Although big cities in China are seeing huge changes, the rural areas are timeless and people live lives that, to us as westerners, are totally foreign. Seemingly diagonally opposed to what we know and understand. Like in the first episode, we focus mainly on crafts and things people make by hand, all the while keeping an eye out for situations that would take us on another tangent. This last episode ends in Tibet where we encounter the feisty spirit of the indigenous people, Buddhism with all its color and texture and crafts and lifestyles that are as old as the world itself.
A 10 thousand mile road trip through China CHINA EPISODE 1 - This two part documentary tells the story of an epic 3 month road trip through China. Susan Morkel, a young South African woman, takes us through some of the most mysterious and fascinating regions in our modern world. While some have heard of The Great Wall of China, Tiananmen Square and Chairman Mao, most people actually know very little about this huge country. This first 48 minute episode takes our valiant explorer from Pakistan over the Khunjerab Pass into Kashgar in western China, through the Taklimakan Desert and on to Beijing. Both episodes explore the remote outback of China to find stories that have never been told before. It also shows rural life and what people do there to sustain themselves. Focusing mainly on what people make with their hands, this film stays clear of the usual tourist spots. Going much further than the hazy horizon on dusty detours, this road movie will make you want to pack your bags and go there yourself.
