Narrated by David Attenborough
A series of eight films in which DAVID ATTENBOROUGH goes to India and south-east Asia, to the countries where the world's most ancient religions and art-forms have miraculously survived into the 20th century, and where today they persist with strength and vitality, an indispensable part of daily life.
2:The Morning of the World
Bali is a small volcanic island of extraordinary natural beauty lying due south of Borneo and a little to the east of Java.
When, in the 16th century, its neighbours converted to Islam, Bali persisted with its own faith-a happy blend of Hinduism and spirit worship - and today it enjoys a life of pageantry and festive splendour unequalled anywhere in the world.
