Today, we have international trailer for the upcoming Russian movie “Mongol.” The story recounts the early life of Genghis Khan who was a slave before going on to conquer half the world including Russia in 1206.
As it follows Temudgin (Genghis Khan) from his perilous childhood to the battle that sealed his destiny, the film paints a multidimensional portrait of the future conqueror, revealing him not as the evil brute of hoary stereotype, but as an inspiring, fearless and visionary leader.
Mongol shows us the making of an extraordinary man, and the foundation on which so much of his greatness rested: his relationship with his wife, Borte, his lifelong love and most trusted advisor.
Filmed in the very lands that gave birth to Genghis Khan, “Mongol” transports us back to a distant and exotic period in world history; to a nomad’s landscape of endless space, climatic extremes and ever-present danger.
At this point, “Mongol” is scheduled to hit theaters on June 6th, in limited release.
