Sister Cities

SISTER CITIES is a fun, surprising journey that explores two of the world’s greatest cities and the fascinating ties that bond people everywhere. Every episode intercuts two spectacular cities in America and China - in this episode, it’s San Francisco and Shanghai. Over the span of a single day, we follow the pulse of these cities, from dawn to midnight, revealing the rhythm of life in two vibrant cities as expressed by the city-dwellers.
Every episode explores these two worlds' unique cultures, industries, arts, traditions, and passions. But more importantly, every episode confirms for viewers that despite different languages and histories, people everywhere share the same joy for living, pride of place, and love of family.
In an increasingly urban world, SISTER CITIES lets us pause for a moment and remember despite how fast-paced modern life can be – we are all still human beings with the same spirit, soul, and connectedness to our homes and each other.
