The New Silk Road, Part 1: From China to Pakistan

This documentary follows the first leg of China's New Silk Road, the vast infrastructure drive connecting the country westward from China to Pakistan. Beijing casts the project as a benefit to all, but this account reveals the strategic self-interest and geopolitics underneath. Along the route it examines the ambition, money and power reshaping the region. Informative and clear-eyed, it maps one of the most consequential development schemes of our time.
