You know the story. You don't know what they left out. I'm Rohail. I make long-form documentaries about the darkest corners of history, mythology, folklore and the stories we grew up with. I'm on camera in every episode, and I research and write each script myself from the original sources. The origins that were sanitised. The people who were erased. The history that was too uncomfortable for a classroom. If it was buried, I dig it up. New episodes every week. Keep the candle lit. For business enquiries: hello@midnightarchivesmedia.com
