Скачать или смотреть The Boxer Rebellion: A Story of Massacres, Miracles, and Madness

In 1900, a secret society of spiritualist warriors, the Boxers, who believed they were immune to bullets, rose up to purge China of all foreign influence. What followed was one of history's most dramatic and brutal conflicts: The Boxer Rebellion.

This documentary explores the 55-day siege of the international legations in Beijing, a desperate last stand where a few hundred soldiers and civilians held out against an entire army. We uncover the incredible true stories of heroism, like Marine Dan Daly who single-handedly defended a wall against 200 attackers, and the ingenuity of the defenders who built a cannon from scrap metal.

But this is also a story of immense tragedy. From the massacres of thousands of Chinese Christians to the cold-blooded slaughter of missionaries ordered by the "Butcher of Shanxi," and the controversial "Hun Speech" by Germany's Kaiser demanding his troops give no mercy. Finally, we witness the aftermath: the total looting of Beijing and the signing of a treaty that would cripple China for decades.

Join us as we uncover the full story of the Boxer Rebellion, a pivotal and bloody chapter that marked the end of Imperial China.
