In 1405, Admiral Zheng He set sail from China with an armada of over 200 ships and 27,000 men—the beginning of seven epic voyages that reached as far as Africa, long before any European explorers arrived. Commissioned by Ming Emperor Zhu Di, these expeditions aimed not to conquer, but to share the wealth and sophistication of Chinese civilization. This documentary explores the scale, ambition, and mystery of these unprecedented maritime journeys. What drove the Ming Dynasty to undertake such massive efforts? How did they construct and navigate ships so vast that they dwarfed anything used by later explorers like Vasco da Gama? And why did China abandon its naval dominance so abruptly after Zheng He's final voyage? Combining two years of on-location research with insights from international historians, this film sheds light on a forgotten chapter of world history—one that challenges everything we thought we knew about early global exploration.
