The Hidden Truth of Troy: A War That Was Never About Love

The Trojan War is remembered as a story of love, honor, and deception. But wars that last ten years are never fought for romance. This documentary explores Troy as an economic chokepoint, not a mythic backdrop. Positioned at a critical trade gateway between the Aegean and the Black Sea, Troy controlled access, delayed movement, and accumulated wealth simply by standing still. What followed was not a war of passion, but a prolonged economic siege—and a violent attempt to “solve” a systemic problem. This is a calm, analytical, BBC-style investigation into how trade, logistics, exhaustion, and myth shaped one of history’s most famous conflicts—and why destroying a gatekeeper did not bring stability, but fragmentation. Perfect for deep listening, reflection, and sleep.
