Historical documentaries interpret surviving evidence rather than simply replaying the past. Watch how archives, archaeology, expert interpretation and first-hand records are used, and note where uncertainty or competing explanations remain.

A useful way to approach the film is to begin with its central subject, then test each wider claim against the evidence and voices presented on screen.
