- Synopsis:
He Was One Of The Most Powerful Men Who Ever Lived. He Commanded Millions To Build The Great Wall Of China. He Lies Buried In The Greatest Mausoleum On Earth And Fulfilled His Dream Of Creating An Empire That Would Last Forever. He Was Qin Shi Huangdi: The Man Who Gave China It's Name. This stunning documentary reveals the monumental vision of this extraordinary man. It features epic, dramatic reconstructions which reveal how he came to power through the Machiavellian scheming of his mother and how he transformed a feudal society into a formidable fighting machine capable of great military campaigns which crushed all dissent: then he dreamed of immortality, and whilst striving for it, drove himself mad by drinking mercury. - Actors:
