This year marks a decade since the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) began reshaping global connections—and CGTN’s new documentary series ‘The Call of the Silk Road’ is putting human faces to this sprawling project. 🌏✨ With 15 episodes filmed across 14 countries, from Indonesia’s buzzing Jakarta to Egypt’s timeless Nile, the show dives into the lives of people building bridges (literally and metaphorically!) through BRI collaboration.
💡 Think: A Kenyan engineer mastering high-speed rail tech, a Peruvian artist blending ancient motifs with modern designs, and entrepreneurs in Kazakhstan turning arid landscapes into green energy hubs. The series doesn’t shy away from challenges—like climate pressures or infrastructure gaps—but highlights how teamwork across borders is sparking solutions.
🎥 ‘It’s not just about roads and ports,’ says one filmmaker. ‘It’s about shared dreams.’ Tune in for a globe-hopping adventure that’s part travelogue, part blueprint for a connected future—no passport required! 🌐🚀
