#Machiavelli #ThePrince #HistoricalDocumentary
Was Machiavelli truly the master of manipulation—or the most misunderstood political thinker in history?
In this feature-length documentary, we peel back the layers of myth, propaganda, and centuries of misinterpretation to reveal the real Niccolò Machiavelli.
🔍 Based on fresh ground breaking reinterpretations of his work this film explores how Machiavelli’s exile, humour, heartbreak, and republican ideals shaped one of the most notorious books ever written: The Prince.
You’ll meet:
• The young patriot serving a fragile Florentine Republic
• The diplomat who studied tyrants like Cesare Borgia
• The tortured exile who wrote in secret
• The man behind the myth of "Machiavellian" cunning
💡 What if The Prince was never meant as a guide for rulers... but a trap for tyrants?
📚 Chapters:
02:04 Background – Renaissance Florence - Incubator of Genius
10:40 Machiavelli's Early Days
19:46 Savonarola
40:45 Cesare Borgia
52:41 A Change of Fortune
1:02:48 Exile
1:25:42 Fame Again
1:02:00 Conclusion – The Fox Unmasked
