In 2007, Rachel Sager was featured in the Emmy Award Winning Documentary, Sketching the Silk Road.  Follow the artist as she reveals the magic and the history of the Ancient Caves and the Dunhuang culture through exploration of the arts.

"Armed with only their sketchbooks and their creativity, two up-and-coming American painters trace an ancient trade route to China's most famous Buddhist artwork grottoes. Artists Rachel Sager and Todd Thompson returned from Dunhuang, China in August 2005. They completed and exhibited a series of original paintings inspired by their travel experiences in time for the November 2005 Art Exhibit"
