Introduction

The most unbelievable stories are often the ones that actually happened. In this talk, we take a look at the fascinating world of true stories brought to life on screen – films based on real people, real events and real drama that can be more gripping than anything Hollywood could dream up. Real life is full of extraordinary people and moments that inspire, shock and move us. These true stories capture raw emotion, intense drama and remarkable resilience, revealing the depth of human experience.

Join us as we explore the fascinating world where fact meets storytelling, and where we’re reminded that truth really is stranger than fiction.

Hosted by Kate Stables, journalist and critic.
