China's Cosmopolitan Age: The Tang (1993)     (60 minutes)
Written and produced by Professor Chung-wen Shih, examines the golden age of  Chinese culture.  During the Tang dynasty (seventh-ninth centuries), China was remarkably open to foreign trade and ideas.  It was great era for music, dance, poetry,  and art and represented the period in Chinese history where Buddhism had its greatest  influence. Parts of the documentary are extraordinary, but its pacing is uneven. There is a review of this film in Education About Asia (v. 2 n.1, spring 1997).

Marco Polo: Explorer or Imposter?     (59 minutes)
Although purported to be a factual travel journal, Marco Polo's Il Milione is now considered a work of historical fiction. Scholars-including Dr. Frances Wood, author of Did Marco Polo Go to China? -cannot reconcile the journal's notable omissions, incorrect details, and derivative information- or the fact that Polo is unmentioned in the official records of Kublai Khan, whom he allegedly served with such distinctions. This thought-provoking program builds a convincing case for the theory that Marco Polo wrote much of his account from secondhand sources such as travelers he met while a trader in Kashgar, the crossroads of East and West.
