#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?
