Something is happening right now that most of us feel, but struggle to put a name to. A quiet dread has settled in, making us question not only the future, but the present…
The world is hurtling toward new technological frontiers at a pace that outstrips our ability to make sense of them.
In its wake, we feel a growing disconnection–
From Nature.
From Society.
From Ourselves.
Underneath all of this, everybody’s asking the same question:
What do we hold onto?
And Earth
Between Heaven
Between Heaven and Earth is an optimistic travel series, with a metaphysical twist…
Think Anthony Bourdain x Hero with a Thousand Faces.
Meet Ricky Qi.
A documentary filmmaker, expedition photographer, and National Geographic Explorer, he’s spent fourteen years traveling to the edges of the human world — from the frozen poles to the ancient Silk Roads — in search of what it is that makes us human.
Ricky believes that ancient people already wrestled with the questions keeping us up at night… And they left answers not in museums, but in the living practices of their descendants.
Each episode, Ricky travels to a place rooted in an ancient culture and excavates one of those answers — from the mountains rivers of China, to the grasslands of Mongolia, to the deserts of Central Asia.
