Documentary milks universal connections

The documentary illustrates milk's influence through beverages such as butter tea of the Inner Mongolia autonomous region and Hong Kong's silk-stocking milk tea, as well as Malaysia's pulled tea, British afternoon tea, and Pakistani clay-pot chai, each of which tells its own cultural story.

Milk has accompanied humanity through key transitions: from hunting and gathering to agriculture, and later, to industrial civilization. "The history of milk runs parallel to civilization itself. Every era has its own story. We wanted to bring these narratives to life by focusing on communities where milk remains essential," He says.
