Question

In what medium have you seen the concept ‘based on a true story'? What does this phrase mean? Why do you think authors and screenwriters might alter ‘history' or true events?

Answer 1

It means it’s facts, it was based on true events. They write based on true events to portray that these things really do happen. It’s a scenario you might experience in life, and it shows what the characters did to get through the scenario.
