War Queens

On the dust-swept steppes of Mongolia, a young woman labors to rebuild the old empire of Genghis Khan. Surviving palace intrigues and the death of her husband the khan, Queen Manduhai teams up with a young boy of noble blood to resist threats from China, Central Asia and Mongol rivals to consolidate a kingdom of nomadic horse riders. War, diplomacy and marriage are the backdrop to this epic story of a wise queen who shed blood to bring peace to her people.

Actor Nathalie Emmanuel joins father-daughter history team Jon & Emily Jordan to tell the story of Manduhai.
