This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a significant global development strategy aimed at enhancing regional connectivity and embracing a brighter shared future. To commemorate this milestone, a new documentary series titled The Call of the Silk Road is set to launch on September 15. The series explores the transformative impact of the BRI across 14 countries in Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America.
In its first episode, the series takes viewers to Indonesia, an archipelagic state experiencing a remarkable digital revolution. Indonesia’s journey toward becoming a digital power is highlighted through stories of innovation, economic growth, and societal change. The nation’s embrace of technology and digitalization is not only reshaping its own economy but also fostering greater connectivity within the Asian region and beyond.
By highlighting personal narratives and developments, The Call of the Silk Road aims to provide an in-depth understanding of how the BRI is influencing lives and economies. Indonesia’s digital transformation exemplifies the broader changes occurring across the Belt and Road countries, offering valuable insights for global readers, business professionals, academics, and members of the Asian diaspora interested in the region’s dynamic evolution.
