GANDHARA, THE RENAISSANCE OF BUDDHISM ( VIDEO )

This film shows the interaction between the Greco- Bactrian cultures and the Indian cultures represented by Buddhism.We see  how this led to the creation of the first statues of Buddha and how this fusion led to a truly cosmopolitan culture which stood at the centre of the spread of Buddhism.
The narrative is in English, but some interviews in other languages aren't subtitled. However, the locations and historical images are very interesting and worth seeing.
