Mongolia makes most of us think of the mighty empire of Genghis Khan. The documentary looks at Mongolian history and introduces modern Mongolian culture. Fascinating facts about this little-known Central Asian nation. A country of forests, deserts and steppes, Mongolia borders Russia to the north and China to the south. Today, however, it is mainly influenced by South Korea and the West. Director Robert H. Lieberman and author Deborah C. Hoard introduce us to writers, journalists, politicians, activists, poets, painters and a comedian, offering valuable insight into the young republic and its young people. Historians, archaeologists and local residents tell the story of the vast empire. The territory conquered by the united Mongol tribes in Asia and Eastern Europe was the largest sphere of dominion in world history. The film goes beyond the character of Genghis Khan, the notorious founder of the Mongol Empire, and explores multiple layers of the legacy of an empire that extends to this day. This documentary was directed by Robert H. Lieberman and produced by PSP Productions. #dwdocumentary #documentary #mongolia #history #asia ـــــ DW Documentary brings you information beyond the headlines.
