The story of how mosquitoes crossing an ocean gave rise to a boxing nation.

Many are often perplexed by the influence of Israel in the American government. Though often the focus is on financial influence, the religious influence of the Christian Zionist ideology is often overlooked and misunderstood. This documentary examines the history of Christian Zionism, its origins, and its unique influence on American politics.

Hey everyone! I put together a short animated documentary on Timothy Dexter, a semi-literate farmhand from Massachusetts who the local Newburyport elites spent years trying to trick into bankruptcy.

​Instead of going broke, every terrible piece of advice they gave him—from shipping 42,000 brass bed-warming pans to the tropical Caribbean to "carrying coals to Newcastle"—somehow turned into a massive payday. Later in life, he built a mansion with 42 giant wooden statues of himself and world leaders, faked his own death to yell at his wife for not crying enough, and wrote a 32-page book with zero punctuation, ending with a full page of just commas and periods and telling readers to "peper and solt it as they plese."

​Was he the luckiest idiot in history, or a secret mastermind trolling the upper class? I dove into the primary sources and port records to find out.

I recently made an 8-minute documentary about Waverly Woodson Jr., an African American Army medic whose story deserves a lot more attention.

On June 6, 1944, Woodson was wounded before reaching Omaha Beach. Despite his injuries, he continued treating wounded soldiers for roughly 30 hours. Historical accounts credit him with caring for around 200 men.

What fascinated me wasn't just what he accomplished that day, but how long it took for his service to receive greater recognition.

I tried to tell his story as accurately as possible, using historical research and AI-assisted reenactments rather than presenting recreated scenes as archival footage.

I'm curious how many people here had heard of Woodson before. His story seems surprisingly unfamiliar compared with other D-Day accounts.

Most people know the story of 1492, but textbook history often leaves out what happened just eight years later. In August 1500, a royal investigator named Francisco de Bobadilla stepped off a ship onto Hispaniola, stripped Christopher Columbus of his power, locked him in iron chains, and shipped him back across the Atlantic as a prisoner.

​What the Video Covers:

I put together an 8-minute breakdown looking into the primary-source archive records of what actually happened during Columbus's governorship, including:

​The Royal Investigation: How 23 witnesses testified under oath about the brutal conditions on the island.

​The 1495 Slave Trade: The shipment of 550 indigenous people to Spain and the immediate legal/theological debate it triggered in the royal court.

​The Quota System: How the hawk bell and copper neck token system functioned on Hispaniola.

​The Spanish Colonists: The lesser-known history of how Columbus's administration punished even Spanish settlers with whippings, banishment, and mutilation for trading food without permission.

​I’d love to hear your thoughts or discuss the primary source records from 1500 in the comments!

This is my first long-form video, featuring arguably the most brilliant naval commander to have ever lived.

It's a shame that more people don't know about the incredible story of Admiral Yi Sun-sin. I wanted to create a deep-dive that showcases the tactical genius, political betrayal, and impossible odds that led up to one of the most pivotal naval battles in world history: The Battle of Myeongnyang in 1597.

To bring this 16th-century conflict to life, I spent some weeks researching the historical record, (which you'll see cited throughout the video), and used generative tools to recreate the period's imagery, battle maps, and audio.

I would love to hear any feedback or tips from fellow history buffs or documentary creators.

A watch commissioned for Marie Antoinette took 44 years to complete. Long after the queen’s death, it ended up in a Jerusalem museum—until it disappeared in a robbery.

I made this short video tracing the watch’s journey, the museum theft, and the unexpected turns that followed. It’s a story where royal history, watchmaking and a criminal investigation all collide.
