Most people think Valentine’s Day has always been about romance, flowers, and candy. But the real history of the holiday is far darker — and far more interesting — than most people realize. Long before greeting cards and chocolates, Valentine’s Day was shaped by political control, forbidden marriages, ancient Roman rituals, and the execution of a man who defied the most powerful empire on Earth.

In this documentary, we explore the true origins of Valentine’s Day, tracing it from Ancient Rome through early Christianity, the Middle Ages, and into the modern world. Along the way, we uncover how a brutal pagan festival, a Roman emperor’s decree, and a forgotten martyr helped shape one of the most popular holidays in history.

This is not the Valentine’s Day you were taught in school.
