How One Jewish Family Built Shanghai & CONTROLLED China's Opium Trade (ROTHSCHILD)

They weren’t kings or conquerors — but they ruled an empire all the same.
The Sassoons, a Jewish family exiled from Baghdad, didn’t just rebuild their lives — they built Shanghai. By the mid-1800s, they controlled 70% of all opium entering China, shaping the nation’s fate and rewriting the rules of global trade.

In this documentary, we uncover the untold story of how the Sassoons rose from refugees to power brokers — manipulating empires, fueling wars, and creating a dynasty so vast that even the Rothschilds took notice.

This is the story of greed, empire, and the family who turned human suffering into history’s most controversial fortune.
