The Great Wall

The two hour film traces the story of the building of the colossal brick structure which everyone recognises as the Wall - from the terror of apocalyptic Mongol attacks in 1550 (the Ming dynasty’s own 9/11) through the founding of the nation’s first professional army to the building of the wall itself and its testing in battle. This compelling drama brings us face-to-face with the descendants of the wall’s builders, taking us to the remotest reaches of the wall itself and into the heart of China’s legendary People’s Liberation Army – the first time a western film crew has ever been allowed such access. All in all, like the wall itself, a monumental tour de force.
