THE MAKING OF EAST MEETS WEST
Welcome to our official home of East Meets West. This documentary journey
is inspired by the work of National Geographic's Michael Yamashita: a legendary photographer
whose lifetime of work has illuminated cultures across Asia, the Silk Roads and beyond.
For more than a decade, this series has followed Michael across mountains, deserts, temples, and trade routes ... tracing the ancient paths where travel, trade and trust
once connected people long before globalization had a name.
These were the crossroads where ideas moved, where cultures mixed,
and where peace was built not by force, but by exchange and understanding.
In East Meets West, you’ll travel with a master storyteller to some of the world’s
most visually stunning, historically dramatic and culturally rich places.
You’ll meet the people who carry their traditions forward ... linking past to present,
east to west, and one generation to the next.
Here on this site, you can watch trailers, explore behind-the-scenes stories,
and learn how to experience the full series ... a project dedicated to showing
how curiosity can bridge cultures, how photography can open minds,
and how our shared journeys can bring us closer to one another.
We hope this series changes the way you see our world — and your place in it.
