“The Truth Behind Dragons”

Dragons have lived in the human imagination for thousands of years — feared in Europe, honored in China, and woven into legends across nearly every civilization on Earth. From fire-breathing beasts and rain-bringing protectors to world-serpents that shook the oceans, dragons shaped the beliefs, fears, and hopes of ancient people. In this documentary, we explore why dragons appeared in cultures that never met, why Europeans believed they were real, how Chinese dragons controlled the weather, and why the world never stopped telling stories about them. Dragons were fire, rain, chaos, balance… and everything in between.

Uncover the ancient secrets behind the world’s most legendary creature.
