Ruben Terlou

In this six-part mini series, documentarians Ruben Terlou and Jelle Brandt Corstius travel the New Silk Road through Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Pakistan. Countries that once formed the Old Silk Road, the trade center of the world. Most Westerners today have other associations with Central Asia: lots of oil and gas, long-serving tyrants, and violent steppe regions inhabited by uncultured types.

In Chinese Dreams documentarian and China expert Ruben Terlou continues his travels through China, this time focusing on four themes: divorce, child rearing, ethnic minorities, and the relationship between China and Taiwan.

In his second travel show, physician/photographer Ruben Terlou journeys all the way from the most Northern point of China to the most Southern point. In seven episodes, he travels from the dry steppe of inner Mongolia in the North to the tropical coast of Macau in the South.
