Brief synopsis

E G O S T O R Y is a new form of history documentation. With a psychological questioning, it offers a close identification with a well-known with a well-known historical figure. The classical question: "Why something happened?" a new dimension of answers is added: Not historical sources alone are the answer - E G O S T O R Y looks for the answer directly in the acting persons. Inside them - in their heads! At patterns of human behavior such as betrayal, denial, narcissism, fear or love or love, the films narrate the actions of historical characters on the basis of key moments of their lives; hypotheses are made and these hypotheses are then hypotheses are made, and these hypotheses are then confirmed or disproved on the basis of historical facts and events. Elaborate reenactment scenes, gripping archive material, atmospheric images and high-quality staged interviews with "permanent" historians for all topics from the Middle Ages to the from the Middle Ages to the 20th century form a highly recognizable set. Name of the docu-series.

As a hybrid of "Ego" and "History," E G O S T O R Y shows a new dimension of of historical observation: E G O S T O R Y is "history in the head," bringing historical historical narrative with emotional sensation. E G O S T O R Y is an offer to immerse oneself in the psyche of a historical character - and in this way and thus combines narrative patterns of historical documentation with crime elements.
