Echoes of the Empire: Beyond Genghis Khan
Beyond Genghis Khan
Mongolia: for most of us, it brings to mind Genghis Khan's mighty empire. But in the present day, there is also a rich culture in the nation that grew from the ashes of Genghis Khan's triumphs, and a complex history aside from the bloodshed and conquest. A stunning cinematic view of the country's past and present, from the remarkable evolution of the Mongol Empire to intimate portraits of today’s Mongolians.
