Not unlike Mr. Tolkien—one of the greatest storytellers of modern times—the Rivendell Center believes that compelling stories have the power to shape the mind and heart of a civilization. As philosopher Russell Kirk once observed: “Imagination, given time, does rule the world.”

The signature storytelling initiative of the Rivendell Center is its YouTube history channel, History and the Human Story. Through this initiative, the center will produce documentary and narrative films that will help to tell the story of our civilization: most importantly, the impact of the Judeo-Christian tradition on Western civilization and the American political order.

Production work is already underway for several documentary films.
