Editor's Take

Spending a hundred hours eating in one of the Silk Road's oldest cities, this film uses plov, samsa, and hand-pulled lagman to trace how trade and empire shaped Uzbek cuisine. The tiled monuments of Samarkand frame the meals, tying the food to the history that produced it. Immersive and first-hand, it treats a table as a way into a place.
