Producer: Royalworld Publishing GmbH
Editor: Juan Diego de Leon
Writer | Editor: Tamara Aldama Almazán
Motion Graphics: Ivan Moreno & Juan Diego de Leon
Genre: Documentary
Country: Spain
Language: English
Synopsis:
From starving orphan to emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang builds the Ming Dynasty with iron laws, ruthless purges, and total control. At its center rises the Forbidden City—a palace designed for secrecy, surveillance, and power.
But behind the throne, eunuchs become kingmakers, Wei Zhongxian tightens his grip, and the court turns into a battlefield. Ming fleets rule the seas while wars on the steppe bleed the borders—and inside the palace, women fight to survive a deadly system.
This is the Ming Dynasty’s shocking arc: power seized, power abused, and an empire that collapses under the weight of its own control.
