In the 1850s, a Christian cult rattles imperial China to its core. A deified schoolteacher, a general with a deathwish, and an American adventurer-turned-mercenary converge in one of the bloodiest conflicts in human history. The carnage and bloodshed, which resulted in thirty million deaths, shaped modern China and the world.

This is the untold history of the Taiping Rebellion

Music by Hildur Guonadottir, Luke Howard, Zoe Keating, Hong Ting, Geoff Knorr, Julianna Barwick, and Keaton Henson.
