Twenty-six places. One year. A portrait of the world, seen from the inside.
A family travels from city to city to discover in each place its history, art, and people, its greatest tragedies and triumphs.
The Journey
One year. A series of places — a city, sometimes a country, sometimes a single room where something happened.
China
The opening chapter — Beijing, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Shanghai. Ancient capitals and a modern power, layered into a single country.
Vietnam
Next. A country remade many times over, and still entirely itself.
Greece
On the horizon — where so much of the world began.
Chile
Where the world is still being made, at the far end of the map.
Civilization in Place
Every episode finds one place where a hidden history becomes physical — a building, an object, an encounter. Not the most luxurious place. The one that shows the most.
“The story chooses the place.”
