Jade - The Stone of Heaven

This unique program shows us the jade road as it exists today, practically unchanged from 600 years ago. The remote mining areas in northern Burma where only very few outsiders have gained access are visited. Market places in Hong Kong, where jade changes hands in the very peculiar Chinese way of mixing business with gambling, often with entire fortunes at stake on a single boulder, sometimes leaving the gambler with no alternative but suicide, are also presented.
