East of Rome: 1: By the River of Paradise

BBC One
on BBC One London

A series of films about Christianity in the Eastern world.

Fifty years ago this year the Nestorian Christians who lived in the Persian Highlands were massacred by Kurdish tribesmen. This was only the final chapter of the tragic history of the Nestorian Church of Persia-a church which was once powerful and flourishing and which took Christianity across Asia to China and Mongolia.
Commentary spoken by Gary Watson.
English version written and produced by Mischa Scorer.
