Overview:
How many times have you watched a Hollywood film that started off with “based on actual events” or “based on similar events”? Have you ever wondered how accurate that statement is? Historians do. More often than not, production companies create historical films with little or no attention to historical accuracy just to sell tickets. This is an opportunity to watch a period piece you are interested in and determine whether or not it is historical fact or fiction.
