This historical documentary was great. The entire crew did an excellent job on documenting all of the artifacts found and reenacting what happened during the Qin Dynasty. It was very interesting and insightful. If you haven't seen this documentary yet, check it out sometime. It's worth watching.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
