The Forgotten Stories
Uncovering the Shadows of History Through Documentary Storytelling
Welcome to The Forgotten, your premier destination for meticulously researched historical documentaries that resurrect the lost narratives of our past. From the intrigue-filled chambers of Medieval royal courts to the gaslit streets of Victorian London, we specialize in bringing forgotten historical stories back into the light through immersive documentary filmmaking and expert historical analysis.
Our Mission: Preserving Yesterday's Forgotten Narratives
At The Forgotten, we believe every historical era harbors untold stories waiting to be discovered. Our mission extends beyond traditional historical documentation—we’re dedicated to transforming dusty archival records and overlooked historical accounts into compelling visual narratives that captivate modern audiences while maintaining scholarly accuracy.
Through our historical documentary series, we explore the human stories behind major historical events, investigate unsolved mysteries from the Medieval period through the Victorian era, and shed light on the forgotten figures who shaped our world yet disappeared from mainstream historical narratives.
What Makes The Forgotten Different
Meticulous Historical Research & Academic Rigor
Every documentary we produce begins in the archives. Our research team collaborates with university historians, Medieval scholars, Victorian era experts, and forensic historians to ensure absolute historical accuracy. We examine primary sources including:
- Medieval manuscripts and illuminated texts
- Victorian police records and newspaper archives
- Royal court documents and personal correspondence
- Archaeological findings and material culture evidence
- Parish records, guild documents, and civic archives
Atmospheric Historical Storytelling
We don’t just tell history—we transport you there. Our signature approach combines scholarly research with cinematic storytelling techniques that immerse viewers in the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of bygone eras. Using period-accurate music, authentic costume design, and historically informed cinematography, we recreate the ambiance of Medieval castles, Tudor palaces, Georgian drawing rooms, and Victorian back alleys.
Expert Analysis & Historical Context
Each documentary features insights from leading historians, archaeologists, and period specialists who provide expert commentary on everything from Medieval social hierarchies and royal succession disputes to Victorian criminal psychology and industrial revolution impacts. Our expert contributors help viewers understand not just what happened, but why it mattered and how it connects to broader historical patterns.

Phase 3: Authentic Recreation

Phase 4: Atmospheric Post-Production
Our post-production team incorporates period-appropriate music, authentic sound design, and carefully researched visual elements to create an immersive historical experience.
