the film titled "the conqueror" starred john wayne as genghis khan. it was shot downwind from a nuclear testing site and close to half of the cast & crew subsequently developed cancer, including "the duke" himself. this video is a remake of the film, looking at “conquest” in our past and present media, fiction and non-fiction, and the “compression” of these experiences into a mediated form ready for consumption.
