The First Emperor: The Man Who Made China (Part 1)
(an excellent 10 part series about the man who united China, started the building of the Great Wall and for whose tomb the Terra Cotta Warriors were built. )

With reenactments, expert commentary, and impressive graphic re-creations, Discovery Channel's The First Emperor: The Man who made China traces the rise of the young king, who, an ingenious and often brutal ruler, transformed seven warring states into a single, united empire ten times the size of the Egyptian pharaohs' domain.
