Long, calm stories from history, made for falling asleep.

What we make

Each film tells the whole story of an empire, a dynasty, a war or a legend in one sitting, read slowly by one calm voice. Most run between one and three and a half hours, long enough to fall asleep to.

The stories are carefully researched and told in order, from the beginning to the end, with no rush. They're made for bedtime, and they keep you company while cooking or studying too.
