Director: Alexander K. Smith
Country: Germany
Year: 2024

For a brief period of time, the Tibetan Empire was one of the greatest military and political forces in the entire world, rivaling the Chinese Tang dynasty, the Islamic Abbasid Caliphate, and even the once-mighty Roman Empire. In the 9th century, however, the entire empire suddenly collapsed, vanishing into history and myth. How did Tibet emerge to become one of the dominant political factions in Central Asia? And why did the empire collapse? The Animated History of Tibet is a documentary series that covers over thirteen hundred years of history, starting with the rise and fall of the Tibetan Empire and the first spread of Buddhism to Tibet in the 7th century CE
