The Disclosure Room FAQ
The Disclosure Room is a thought-provoking anthology series that explores humanity’s deepest questions about responsibility, identity, and the nature of belief. Each season presents intense intellectual confrontations that challenge fundamental assumptions across diverse contexts—from historical conflicts to modern ethical dilemmas and philosophical inquiries into human nature. The series delves into how individuals wrestle with ideas such as free will, collective responsibility, ideological conviction, and the tension between nature and nurture.
This is not a documentary. It is a work of dramatic fiction designed to make audiences think critically about how we evaluate arguments and navigate moral complexity. For additional insights, detailed discussions of the characters, arguments, and historical context, please explore my official blog. You can learn more about the show’s format and upcoming seasons on our The Disclosure Room page.
A Note on Release & Discussion: Please note that The Disclosure Room is released episodically, and that the full story—along with the characters, their arguments, and their responses—unfolds across multiple episodes. Public conversation often begins before a full season is available. I invite all viewers to engage with the material as it is released, but encourage everyone to reserve final judgment until the story and its intellectual discourse have fully unfolded. The complete context is essential to understanding the depth and nuance of the series.
General FAQ (About the Series)
Q: What is the purpose of this show?
A: The Disclosure Room uses the format of a high-stakes interrogation to explore the structure of belief itself. Each season places characters in a crucible where they must defend their worldview, allowing the audience to see how people construct arguments, rationalize behavior, and confront uncomfortable truths. It is a series about thinking, and the consequences of not thinking clearly.
Q: What makes this an anthology series?
A: Each season features completely different characters, contexts, and philosophical questions. The format stays the same—intense dialogue where characters with opposing worldviews must genuinely engage with each other—but everything else changes: the questions explored, the topics discussed, the time period, the power dynamics.
Q: Why focus on complex philosophical themes instead of more direct victim stories?
A: Because thousands of essential works already tell the vital stories of victims. This show explores the complex moral, philosophical, and justice-related challenges that arise in these contexts. The settings—whether historical or speculative—provide a dramatic canvas to explore these universal questions.
Q: Is the show trying to revise or deny history?
A: No. The Disclosure Room is a work of fiction and does not make claims about historical events. It stages dialogues to help viewers think about the process of judgment itself. For analysis on how specific historical contexts are used, see my official blog.
Q: Why do you portray characters who have committed terrible acts?
A: Understanding how someone justifies their actions is not the same as excusing them. The show explores why people believe what they do and how systems shape behavior. Portraying a character’s reasoning is not endorsement—it is an invitation to think critically about persuasion and rationalization. You can see this for yourself by watching episodes as they become available on Rumble or Locals.
Q: What is your agenda?
A: The show’s only agenda is to ask hard questions. It critiques how any ideological system can fail when it prioritizes certainty over truth. While any creative work is inevitably shaped by its creator’s perspective, the aim of The Disclosure Room is not to declare who is right or wrong, but to interrogate the very methods we use to justify our beliefs.
Q: Who is this show for?
A: This show is for people who can:
- Hold moral complexity without needing clear heroes and villains
- Engage with arguments they disagree with
- Tolerate ambiguity and uncertainty
If you need definitive moral instruction or validation of existing views, this show will probably frustrate you.
The Disclosure Room Season 1 FAQ
Q: Is Season 1 a form of Holocaust denial?
A: No. Season 1 does not question whether atrocities occurred—it explores how justice is pursued (and sometimes corrupted) when truth becomes a tool of competing ideologies in the war’s aftermath.
Q: Doesn’t this give ammunition to Holocaust deniers?
A: Deniers don’t need this show; they make their arguments regardless. The approach that truly gives them ammunition is claiming that all evidence and prosecutions were perfect. When flaws are inevitably found, deniers use those flaws to try and discredit the entire historical record. Acknowledging complexity while maintaining the essential truth is the only intellectually honest and historically defensible position.
Historical scholarship has acknowledged revisions to initial casualty estimates at specific camps. This is how rigorous historical research works.
Q: Are you antisemitic?
A: The show discusses camps, suffering, and systematic murder. It does not promote, endorse, or excuse antisemitism in any form. Season 1’s examination of prosecution methods and philosophical questions about responsibility is not a judgment on victims or their suffering. The show should be judged on what’s actually in it.
Q: Why humanize a Nazi character?
A: The character is not “humanized” to exonerate him, but to explore a deeper question: How do ordinary people come to rationalize their participation in systems? If we only portray them as one-dimensional monsters, we learn nothing about how to prevent such systems from arising again. Following Hannah Arendt’s concept of the “banality of evil,” the show examines how bureaucratic participation in atrocity works. It does not ask for sympathy, but for understanding of a dangerous process that is relevant to every society.
Q: Doesn’t this “both-sides” the Holocaust by comparing Nazi and Soviet systems?
A: The show does not claim these systems are morally equivalent. It examines the structure of justification—how abstract principles like “the greater good” can be weaponized by opposing ideologies to defend horrific actions. The point is not to equate the two, but to expose a dangerous rhetorical pattern that is universally applicable.
Q: What is Season 1 actually about?
A: A Soviet interrogator confronts a captured administrator from Majdanek concentration camp. Over six episodes, they debate responsibility, truth, evidence, and justice. The interrogator seeks to understand how the administrator justified his role. The administrator doesn’t hide—he explains his reasoning. Neither character is who they initially appear to be. The story reveals itself gradually.

For Critics and Journalists
I welcome all good-faith criticism of The Disclosure Room. To ensure a productive and fair conversation, I ask that you adhere to the following standards:
- Base your critique on the complete work. A fair analysis requires watching the entire season. Critiques based on isolated scenes, out-of-context quotes, or anything other than the material as presented are not considered good-faith engagement.
- Distinguish character from creator. The arguments and worldviews expressed by characters are part of the fictional narrative and should not be attributed to me.
- Quote specific dialogue and reference specific scenes rather than generalizations about what the show “says” or “does.”
