Closer To Truth is a US television series that appears in the Epstein documents primarily through correspondence between Jeffrey Epstein and Robert Lawrence Kuhn regarding a proposal to produce a series on 'The Science of Sleep and Dreams' for PBS.
The organization appears in multiple documents as the subject of a television production proposal sent by Robert L. Kuhn to Jeffrey Epstein in January 2017. The proposal details a 13-episode season on sleep and dreams to air on approximately 200 PBS stations. Several documents contain identical excerpts from this email correspondence, while others mention Closer To Truth in the context of potential programming topics like 'Radical Breakthroughs' and mathematical content. The mentions are primarily professional correspondence about potential media projects rather than evidence of a personal relationship.
