Default Tv/films/documentaries on real life stories

Everyone has a fascination of a real life story, and so has the world.

Thought i start thread where you can write about anything you seen based on a true story. Or post something on a real life situation.

The list of serial killers, crime, drug lords, assasinations, war, disasters, or anything else based on real life people and events literaly runs into the thousands

As far back as history in films go there always a fascination on real life stories.

True story of Dean corll who killed over 25 teanagers

Last year i watched the series real life prison escapes,

Band of Brothers – HBO’s Band of Brothers is based on the 1992 book by the same name, and as part of the show’s authenticity, every episode except the finale opened with interviews of the real-life soldiers who survived. None of the real-life soldiers were named, so viewers did not know which soldiers survived and which soldiers died until the finale’s big reveal

Deadwood – Many characters from Deadwood are based on real-life characters, including Martha and Seth Bullock, Johnny Burns, Calamity Jane, Dan Doherty, Wyatt Earp, E.B. Farnum, Samuel Fields, Al Swearengen, and Lucretia Marchbanks, just to name a few

Boardwalk Empire – Boardwalk Empire is based on real-life Atlantic City political figure Enoch Lewis Johnson and the non-fiction book Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City. Enoch Johnson’s name was changed to Nucky Thompson for the show, and not all of the events of the show are strictly according to history

Are 3made for tv shows based of real life
