被称为“诗圣”的杜甫（712 - 770）创作了约1400首诗。英国广播公司（BBC）制作的纪录片《杜甫：中国最伟大的诗人》向世界介绍了杜甫，尤其是在那些不太了解他的西方国家。该片将杜甫与但丁、莎士比亚作对比，以帮助西方人更好地理解这位诗人在文学上的伟大成就。同时，这部纪录片也向世界各地的人们介绍了中国传统文学之美。
这部纪录片的主持人迈克尔·伍德探索了这位诗人的一生，并发现了这位诗人对中国人民的意义。他参观了许多地方，比如诗人的出生地巩义和杜甫曾居住过的成都杜甫草堂。一路上，他遇到了不同的人，他们帮忙讲述了这位伟大诗人的故事。
此外，这部纪录片还邀请了非常受欢迎的英国演员伊恩·麦克莱恩朗读15首被翻译成英文的杜甫的诗。
这部纪录片肯定有助于进一步传播中国传统文化。杜甫的优秀作品也是整个世界（而不仅仅是中国）的重要文化遗产。
