ANDIN is an exciting experience about traveling to the farthest corners of an Asian Сontinent trying to resolve a single question: how the Armenians were able to move along the Silk Road and link the east and west, long before the discovery age? Within 3 years, the crew filmed in 11 countries including Armenia, France, India, China, Tibet, Central Asia, Russia, and Santo Domingo. They searched for legendary artifacts such as the sunken ship of the famous pirate, William Kidd, or a mysterious Armenian monastery at the bottom of Lake Issyk Kul near the Chinese border where remains of one of Christ’s disciples are kept.
