About

Welcome to The Reel Historian. I’m Dr Emmett Sullivan, a retired historian at Royal Holloway, University of London. My research explores the ways history is told, retold, and reimagined — from the lecture hall to the silver screen. As a film critic, I dive into cinema’s power to shape how we see the past, uncovering what movies get right, what they invent, and why those choices matter. Together, we’ll explore the crossroads of history and film, where fact meets fiction and storytelling becomes legacy."
