Cannes- KBS and NHK are co-producing Asian Corridor in Heaven, an HD documentary on Caravan Road, the ancient trade route. The deal was formalized at MIPTV; production of the 6 X 60min series is expected to be completed by this autumn. The documentary will follow Caravan Road as a trade route for Chinese tea and Tibetan horses, and as an intersection of culture, religion, language and people which is protected by UNESCO as a world natural heritage site. The 5,000km route begins in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces in Southwest China, and stretches through the Himalayas to Tibet, Myanmar and Indonesia. KBS invested US$3.6 million and spent two years producing the documentary, which follows the companies’ collaboration on the doc Silk Road in 2005. Asian Corridor in Heaven will be broadcast on KBS-1 TV in September and on NHK HD channel in January 2008.
