Echoes of the Empire: Beyond Genghis Khan offers a stunning cinematic view of Mongolia’s past and present.

Directed by Robert H. Lieberman, the film will open in Washington DC on June 3 at the Landmark Theater, E Street Cinema, and in Los Angeles on June 10 at the Laemmle Monica Film Center. Additional theatrical dates to be announced soon.

Film director and novelist Robert H. Lieberman takes us into this vast country little known by many. New York Times best-selling author Jack Weatherford opens the film, leading us through the remarkable evolution of Genghis Khan’s Mongol Empire. Intimate portraits of today’s Mongolians provide us with rare and revealing insights into the minds of these former warriors and nomads and the challenges they face in their post Soviet world. This is the third in the trilogy of films from the creative team at PhotoSynthesis Productions that includes the acclaimed Angkor Awakens and They Call It Myanmar—hailed as New York Times Critics’ Picks.
