From the 1835 ambush that killed 107 soldiers to their 2006 purchase of Hard Rock Inc. for 965 million dollars, this is the story of a people who turned defiance into dominance. How did they rise from the ashes of war to a 12-billion-dollar empire? Watch to uncover their unbreakable spirit and what it means for us today!
