"At the beginning of this documentary, we aimed to have a grand and expansive vision. We envisioned it as an epic visual tale of civilizations. However, the final documentary highlights engaging stories and intricate details," says Ye Jing, the documentary's chief director.

"Exchanges between civilizations are about uncovering stories that genuinely resonate and forge an emotional connection in the two countries."

From Nov 17, the film is aired on the China Global Television Network, China Media Group Mobile and the National Institute of Radio and Television of Peru in seven languages.
