About Asia Insight:

ASIA INSIGHT looks at the realities of Asia today.

The documentary series, produced by Japan's national public broadcaster NHK, presents the region both as an ever-evolving and globally relevant center of growth and as the home of traditional cultures often at odds with encroaching globalization.

ASIA INSIGHT investigates these themes, and many others, with in-depth, behind-the-scenes analysis.
