The Project

Why History?

Every civilization left behind a footnote — a moment, a decision, a place that changed everything. The Footnote finds those moments and renders them in cinematic detail, so you don't just read history. You feel it.

From ancient Cadiz to revolutionary France, each episode travels to a different moment in history — and asks: what did it actually feel like to be there?
