His Tribe Left Him Behind. He Became Genghis Khan.

They left him behind. But the boy they abandoned would one day become Genghis Khan. Before he became the ruler of the Mongol Empire, Temujin was not a conqueror, a king, or the founder of an empire. He was a young boy on the Mongolian steppe with almost no protection. His father was poisoned. His family was abandoned. His wife Borte was taken. And Jamukha — the man who once stood beside him like a brother — became one of the first great threats in his life. This cinematic history documentary follows the early life of Temujin before he became Genghis Khan: betrayal, hunger, raids, rival clans, fragile alliances, and the brutal politics of the Mongolian steppe. This is the origin chapter of Genghis Khan — before the empire, before conquest, before the legend.
