The Story of India (2-DVD)

The British historian Michael Wood takes viewers on a fascinating journey through India, recounting the nation’s rich, storied past and delving into its modern political climate. One of the oldest civilizations on the planet, India has been colonized, embattled, and mythologized many times over, but continues to hold a powerful position on the world stage: its massive population (expected to outpace China’s, in raw numbers) and nuclear arsenal make the diverse democracy a force that cannot be ignored. THE STORY OF INDIA offers a gorgeous look at the country’s natural wonders, and an insightful glimpse into the hearts and minds of its citizenry.
