If the 20th century was America’s then the 21st century belongs to Asia.

ASIA RISING is a landmark television event designed to define, document and deliver this critical story to a global audience.

Asia is growing and going through unprecedented change, but with this shift comes both opportunities and challenges. ASIA RISING provides a balanced look at the people and their values, governments and their responsibilities, and the corporations and the markets that will define the next fifty years.

In much the same way that Marco Polo’s travels along the silk road awoke Europe to the culture and splendor of China, ASIA RISING will provide a Marco Polo moment for this generation.

The series explores the impact of Asia’s remarkable economic growth on its people and society and on the world.

This is Asia’s time, this is Asia Rising!
