Genghis Khan built the largest contiguous land empire in history, and this film traces what came after, from the Mongol conquest of Eurasia to the country squeezed today between Russia and China. Director Robert H. Lieberman and Deborah C. Hoard interview historians and archaeologists about the empire's expansion and collapse, then turn the camera on contemporary Mongolia: novelists, journalists, politicians, activists, poets, painters, and a comedian talk about what it means to be young in a nation whose culture is now shaped as much by South Korean pop and Western influence as by its nomadic past. The film moves between the steppes and forests that defined Mongol life for centuries and the cities where that identity is being renegotiated. Rather than dwelling on Genghis Khan as spectacle, it treats him as the starting point for a longer argument about legacy, tracking how a 13th-century empire still shapes a small, young republic's sense of itself.
