An Asian Experience Slow Boat from Surabaya

A documentary that paints a fascinating portrait of South East Asia. From the rivers of tangled lotus to golden pagodas, from steep rice terraces to rolling grasslands, Jack Pizzey blends the energy of the present with the majesty of the past, inquiring, observing and challenging the countries of South East Asia - Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Kampuchea and the Philippines. Rated: G
