In a world constantly characterized by racial and religious tension, it's refreshing to find places where people of different faiths can still live together in harmony. One such region is Kerala, a state along the southwest coast of India where Jews, Muslims, Christians, and Hindus have coexisted in peace for centuries. In Hidden India: The Kerala Spicelands, from the PBS-aired Hidden Journeys series--which explores the intersection of culinary and cultural history--viewers discover the riches that brought early adventurers and settlers to the area, while visiting various agricultural regions where ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and pepper are grown. Along the way, the program looks at the preparation of local dishes, and offers a peek at colorful religious festivals, boat races, elephants, and more. Recommended. Aud: P. (J. Asala)
