Class Six – March 12

BASED ON A TRUE STORY

Key questions for class:

How true are based on a true story narratives?

What consquence does fictionalization of truth have on how we understand history?

A lot of media content is created because of something that has taken place in real life. However, some “based on a true story” narratives deviate tremendously from what actually took place. In this class, we will talk about why deviating can be tricky.
