Curio Quest

Curio Quest documents places that were built for a purpose — and what happens when that purpose ends. Through long-form, cinematic documentaries, this channel explores abandoned towns, industrial sites, and forgotten locations shaped by ambition, extraction, and collapse. These are not legends or myths. They are real places, real decisions, and real consequences. New documentaries explore how systems rise, function, and disappear — leaving landscapes behind.
