Rising Power

S1 E1: Nearly a thousand years ago, the country of Mongolia didn't exist…not until Genghis Khan somehow consolidated several rival nomadic tribes into one unified empire that he ruled. How did he do it? Join us as we travel back to the turn of the 13th century, when a young Genghis (then Temujin) used the tragic loss of his family to fuel his rise to power. Then see how the impact of his reign still resonates today as we follow the daily lives of modern herders and pay a visit to the Naadam Festival, an annual celebration of Mongol traditions.
