‍"Glamorous Argentina," a documentary co-produced and filmed by China and Argentina, shows Argentina's natural scenery, luxurious products, cultural traditions, diverse lifestyles and economical construction. The four-part documentary will be aired on November 29 on the documentary channel of China Central Television (CCTV).
In order to promote the cooperation and exchanges between China and Argentina, and to enable Chinese audiences to have a more perceptual and intuitive understanding of Argentina's natural scenery, national culture, people's lives and national development achievements, the camera crew took more than 50 days to film 40 people from all walks of life in Argentina. The team went around the country for a week and explored the cities and villages of Argentina. Finally, they made a four-part documentary stretching 100 minutes.

With a large number of vivid images, the documentary presents a charming Argentina where historical tradition and modern rhythm are intertwined and where the natural scenery and cultural landscape are integrated.
As a multi-ethnic country, the integration of diverse cultures has injected Argentina with open and inclusive characteristics. From newly promoted soccer player to Argentina dance king Mora Godoy, Argentines are creating their own wonderful lives.
From the Pampas of more than 600,000 square kilometers to the humid Iguazu National Park, this is a vast and well-regarded land.

The magnificent Andes and the Ushuaia, known as "end of the world, beginning of everything," are wonderful memories of Argentina.
Earlier, the president of Radio y Television Argentina S.E. (RTA) and the documentary's director from Argentina received interviews by CCTV reporters respectively, and both expressed the importance of the cooperation.

Also, they are looking forward to how the Chinese audience will feel when they see the other side of Argentina.
"Let the Chinese see for themselves, let's try what experience, what do think when they come and visit us," Miguel Pereira, president of Radio y Television Argentina S.E., told CCTV.
"When you show 'Glamorous Argentina' in CCTV, you gonna see it through the eyes of Chinese people, which I think it's the best," Pereira added.
In addition to football and tango, this documentary will lead the audiences to a new Argentina on November 29.
