The Caucasus Mountains
In The Caucasus Mountains, host Joanna Lumley travels through the mountains which form a natural border between Georgia and Russia to explore routes taken by early traders. She learns how isolated mountain regions developed their own cultures and how people living there often face hardships that lead them to migrate into towns and cities. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Joanna Lumley’s Silk Road Adventure, a documentary series uncovering the rich history and cultural treasures of the Silk Road.
