Wisdom of Changes – Richard Wilhelm and the I Ching explores the life of Richard Wilhelm, a German sinologist who introduced Chinese philosophy to the West.
Filmed by his granddaughter Bettina Wilhelm, the documentary traces his journey to China in 1899, his deep immersion in Chinese culture, and his influential translation of the I Ching.
Against the backdrop of a turbulent era in China, the film examines Wilhelm’s unique approach to bridging Eastern wisdom with Western thought and reflects on the enduring relevance of the I Ching in navigating change.
