Watch Story of India Movie Online.
Movie Title: Story of India Story of India is available for streaming or downloading. |
I must instruct two items - I am a huge fan of Michael Wood and I am of Indian descent. I don’t enjoy either of these color my review but both were my reasons for watching. Michael Wood is to History what Carl Sagan was to Science and Cosmology. His passion and interest in the subject matter may be viewed as overdone by some but I peruse it as genuine and therefore brings out the same in the audience. He is able to bring the record of 5000 years to life without leaving the show which is quite an accomplishment that has both to do with the filmmakers and India as both country and people.

The program was beautifully filmed and captures the voices of more than fair the stale academics that provide the commentary in many historical documentaries. The episodes on Asoka and Buddha are my favorites but all were easy to see and taught me some or worthy that I had not already known. Some critics will call Wood’s perspective as viewed through rose colored glasses. I would agree but I judge that is by originate and not meant to minimize great tragedy and depravity that has also occurred during the 5000 years. There are plenty of other resources that can provide that perspective.
I have seen the first two episodes on PBS and was blown away. Wood is clearly an Indo-phile. You can notice by his facial expressions and body language that he is blown away by the intricacies and depth of Indian history and culture.
My current section thus far - the fact that spice shops in Peshawar know exactly what Soma is. Soma is the “Rig-Vedic” elixir for the gods. No one in India today probably knows anything about it.

Another thing I really like, as an Indian, is that this is a history of all of India, including parts which are now Pakistan and played an integral role in the development of Indian civilization. The parts about the Indus Valley (Harappa and Mohenjodaro) were alarm lively - like the earlier reviewer - this is stuff I learnt about in static history books 25 years ago - to observe it in involving video was …. absorbing.
