Either tell fiction or tell a true story, but don't pass off fiction as a true story
21 August 2023
My view on this aligns with a question posed by Antony Beevor - why do people think that they can improve on history? Either tell fiction, or tell a true story, but don't try to pass off fiction as a 'nearly' true story. This is particularly dangerous as a high proportion of people may after watching believe this to be an accurate account of what actually happened when in fact it the story has been twisted to serve what has, in this case, been called (in a disclaimer at the start) 'dramatic effect'. If the particular line of the 'dramatic effect' suits or serves to underpin a particular political narrative or world view then that is clearly problematic.
