Wars, empires, and the people caught between.

The Iron Archive tells the stories behind the world's conflicts, from the frozen forests of the Winter War to the chokepoints that decide the global economy today. Every documentary is built from real archive photographs, animated maps and carefully sourced research. Where historians disagree, we show you the range. No slogans, no sides: just the record.

New long-form documentaries. Sources and credits are listed under every video.
