The Bulgarian National Television presented an exceptional documentary series that thoroughly explores the process of liberation from Ottoman rule. The premiere of the large-scale project took place on July 31, 2025, causing serious interest among the historical community and the general public.
The creators of the series have made exceptional efforts to reconstruct key moments of the national liberation struggle. Through a combination of archival documents, expert comments, and previously unpublished testimonies, they present a detailed picture of the dramatic events of the 19th century.
A special emphasis in the documentary series is on iconic historical episodes such as the Shipka Epic and the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878. The authors have worked in close collaboration with researchers from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences to ensure maximum scientific credibility.
The project goes beyond traditional historical documentation by presenting the human dimension of the national liberation movement. Through personal stories and emotional narratives, the series reveals the spirit and heroism of the Bulgarian people during one of the most significant periods in our national history.
