HMP has received more than two dozen Emmy Awards for its inclusive and democratic approach to history and current events. The studio was formed in 2008 by civic leader Sam Katz and his son Philip Katz, who sought to make fast-paced, visually stimulating films for the digital age.

This has been a groundbreaking project.  We have engaged hundreds of historians, journalists and authors so that rather present a single point of view we try to present a wide range of perspectives.  While women and people of color have largely been left out of much traditional history, they play front and center roles here.  And, our documentary films dig deeply into the experiences of everyday people, almost all of them long forgotten or never remembered in the first instance.<br><br>“Must viewing...keeps getting better with each installment...exciting, invigorating, alive.” -- ''Philadelphia Inquirer''<br><br>“Philadelphia: The Great Experiment is a monumental achievement--a chronologically and thematically comprehensive portrait of the city. The wonder of it is how it manages to be smart, complex, and subtle while at same time vivid, accessible, and fun to watch.” -- ''Peter Siskind, Executive Director, Urban History Association, Professor of History, Arcadia University''<br><br>“About much more than history.” -- ''Philadelphia Daily News''</blockquote>
