Sri Lanka: How Can One Small Island Hold So Much?

Sri Lanka may be a small island, but few places contain so much within such a compact landscape. In this cinematic Sri Lanka travel documentary, journey from the ancient rock fortress of Sigiriya and the mist-covered tea country to spectacular railway journeys, wild elephants, elusive leopards, blue whales, sacred mountains and the historic southern coast. Discover how geography, wildlife, culture and thousands of years of history have shaped one of the most diverse islands in the Indian Ocean. From the Nine Arch Bridge and Adam's Peak to Sri Lanka's national parks, ancient cities and coastal communities, this film explores a country where dramatically different worlds exist remarkably close together.
