| Summary |
The amazing army of terracotta soldiers is Qin Shi Huangdi's most widely known legacy. This documentary looks at how he created the greatest empire of antiquity, planned the first Great Wall, and built the largest burial site in the world. But at what cost? Qin Shi Huangdi pursued his goals with merciless determination and sacrificed the lives of hundreds of thousands of his subjects. This documentary evokes the life and times of this great but controversial ruler and looks at how he was a hero of the masses and a barbarian of unimaginable cruelty.
