The Middle Ages Were Deadly In Ways You’ve Never Heard Of

Описание: Famine, plague, war, and fear—life in the Middle Ages was far deadlier than most realize. But beyond the familiar tales of the Black Death or battlefield slaughter lies a hidden world of forgotten horrors: strange epidemics, mysterious famines, and disasters that struck without warning. From collapsing cathedrals and burning cities to deadly winters and livestock plagues, survival itself was a daily miracle.

This feature-length documentary uncovers the dark realities that history books rarely mention. Through real events and forgotten chronicles, we explore how ordinary people faced unthinkable suffering, and how entire towns vanished overnight. These are the deadly secrets of the Middle Ages—true stories that prove the past was far more dangerous than we’ve ever been told.
