What television sells
BREAKING SHOCKING
EXPOSED
Outrage for ratings. Certainty manufactured on a deadline. A hidden truth every Tuesday, and never a source you can open.
What we publish
The 1967 Outer Space Treaty bars any nation from claiming the Moon.
UNOOSA · 1967 · Art. II · on screen at 02:14
CHECK ITThe source sits beside the claim, on screen, for as long as the claim does. The full list is published with the film.
Five rules. No exceptions.
- 1
Primary documents first
Records, filings, debates, data. Secondary sources only to find primaries.
- 2
A second researcher re-derives every claim
Before the edit is locked. If it cannot be rebuilt, it is cut.
- 3
The citation sits beside the claim
With page or timestamp, for as long as the claim is on screen.
- 4
Published with the film
Source list, footage log, and what we could not verify.
- 5
No side to take
Non-aligned by design. We show the evidence and the strongest case on each side, then you decide.
Six worlds. One standard of proof.
AI, history, space, tech, money and health. Six different worlds, one question asked of each: what does the evidence actually say? Every film leaves you understanding the world a little better, and knowing how to check it yourself.

A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER
Jayasim Jayakumar
If you make careful work, I’d like to hear from you.
The Pramaan started with two channels in one family: mine in Tamil, and my daughter Kyra’s in English. It is not meant to stay that small.
I’m looking for creators who already show their sources, and for researchers, editors and designers who want to build a press that does. Tell me what you make. I read these myself.
