Скачать или смотреть The Black Death How the Plague Shattered Medieval Europe and Gave Birth to the Modern World

Dive into the real story of the Black Death — not just as a medieval tragedy, but as a force that reshaped the entire course of European history. In this long form documentary narrative, we follow the plague from its hidden origins on the Central Asian steppe, through Mongol trade routes, the siege of Caffa, and the infamous “death ships” that carried it to Messina, Genoa, Venice, and beyond.
You’ll see how Yersinia pestis, a microscopic bacterium spread by rats and fleas, tore through 14th century cities like Florence, Paris, and London, overwhelming medieval medicine, faith, and society. We explore the horrors of bubonic, septicemic, and pneumonic plague, the rise of flagellants, pogroms against Jews, and the collapse of feudalism under the pressure of mass death.
Finally, we uncover how the Black Death helped spark the Renaissance, transformed labor and wealth, altered our DNA, and laid the foundations of modern public health. This is the unseen, brutal side of the Middle Ages—and the birth of the world we live in today.
