Product Information
Documentary filmed in Mongolia about the legendary warrior Genghis Khan, who conquered an empire larger than the Roman Empire during the 12th and 13th centuries. He combined the savagery of a real-life Conan the Barbarian with the tactical genius of Napoleon, a man from the outermost reaches of Asia whose armies ultimately stood poised to conquer Europe. Today his name is synonymous with dark evil, yet in his lifetime he was a heroic figure, a supreme strategist capable of eliciting devotion from his warriors. He grew up in poverty on the unforgiving steppe of Mongolia. From the murder of his father, the kidnap of his wife and the execution of his closest friend, he learned the lessons of life the hard way. So how did this outcast come to conquer an empire larger than the Roman Empire, and was he the brutal monster who ruthlessly slaughtered millions in his quest for power or a brilliant visionary who transformed a rabble of warring tribes into a nation capable of world domination?Product Identifiers
