Behind The Walls History

One year. One place built to hold people. Reconstructed from the record. Each video takes a single institution in a single year and rebuilds what it was like to be held inside it. A prison, a camp, a quarantine island. What the cell measured. What the ration weighed. What a spoken word cost. What men traded, what they built, and what the punishment book recorded. Every figure comes from the record: annual reports, inspection reports, registers, punishment returns, and the accounts of the people who got out and wrote it down. Nothing invented. Where the popular story turns out to be a legend, the video says so and gives the documented one instead. New institution every week.
