Overview

Recent research has revealed the extraordinary modernity of the Mongols, a people who once built an empire four times larger than that of the Romans. Little known outside his homeland, Emperor Genghis Khan is revered within Mongolia. This documentary challenges the image of a bloodthirsty warrior, portraying instead a brilliant strategist who brought innovation to many fields: politics, religion, science, culture, and the arts. It depicts a forward-thinking society where women held prominent roles.
