JAPAN: MEMOIRS OF A SECRET EMPIRE
Directed by Deborah Ann DeSnoo
Japan blossomed into its Renaissance at approximately the same time as Europe. Unlike the West, it flourished not through conquest and exploration, but by fierce and defiant isolation. And the man at the heart of this empire was Tokugawa Ieyasu, a warlord who ruled with absolute control.
