The Great Wall of China is one of the most instantly recognisable structures on earth; a symbol of the achievements not just of a nation, but of all humanity. With a cast of thousands and incredible settings, this epic docu-drama brings to life the history of the largest man-made structure in the world. Told through the eyes of the great General Qi, who was inspired to protect his nation after the Mongols had invaded and reached the Forbidden City, "The Great Wall of China" is the human story behind the greatest construction project of all time. Built with the blood and sweat of millions of its citizens, Qi created a structure 3000 miles long, using 100 million tons of earth, 15 billion bricks and countless lives, that stretched all the way from the vast Gobi Desert in the West, to the roaring coast in the East. This superb production expertly combines dramatic reconstructions with computer generated imagery and expert testimonies by some of the world's leading academics, providing the viewer with a fascinating and definitive guide to one of the true wonders of the world, the Great Wall of China.
