“Is it true that…?” (Stimmt es, dass...) reimagines history—starting with a seemingly simple question, each episode takes us on a journey through different eras, bringing past periods to life through animations and international shoots at original locations, following the narratives of experts, and revealing surprising connections. The focus is on the parts of history that are often overlooked: world history instead of Eurocentrism, the everyday and cultural history of ordinary people instead of great rulers and battles. Above all, however, engaging with the past is not an end in itself, but helps us see our present in a new light. “Is it true that…?” is fast-paced, profound, and told with humor—history for a discerning audience that wants more than simple answers.
