Documentary filmmaker Robert H. Lieberman takes an exploratory, sweeping look at the remnants of the notorious Genghis Khan's empire in the contemporary world. Beginning in the ancient conqueror's land of Mongolia, the cradle of the Khan's ambition, the narrative explores a culture deeply entrenched in tradition while nurturing an eye toward progress and the future. As modernity catches up with their former highly nomadic culture, Mongolians give their insights as they share their challenges and successes.
