This wonderful 10 x 60 minute series asks what we have lost in our race toward the future, for some of the baggage we have cast off has proved to be essential: harmony with the natural world and with one another, humility and tolerance, and a sense of belonging. These values are the strengths of traditional cultures that once flourished and are now threatened by the tide of progress. Only by understanding the other can we get a proper sense of our own place in the world. As we embark on a new millennium, tribal societies no longer remain untouched. Some will vanish quietly. Others will protest and gain borrowed time. Our contact with these cultures will change them forever. Millennium asks whether it can also change us. Beautifully filmed around the world, with music by Academy Award winner, Hans Zimmer
