LUMIVERSEDThe Source Library
Sources & attributions
A documentary is a claim about the world, so we publish our evidence. Before a single line is narrated, every Lumiversed episode passes an adversarial fact-check — every contestable date, number, name, attribution, and superlative verified against two or more reputable sources. Each episode's complete source list and asset attributions live on the pages below, added as episodes premiere.
Lane Four · World Nations
In 1776, There Was No Such Thing as an American
How thirteen colonies became one nation. Two gates, 30 claims verified, and the three the fact-check forced us to change — published in full, including where the gates disagreed. 41 archival works with provenance.
