I watched Wish Man - the guy who started the Make-A-Wish foundation the other day and really enjoyed it! I watched Believe Me today which was also good/shocking.

Does anyone have any other suggestions for good true story films that I might not of watched? (Netflix and Prime).

Thanks all in advance

Not one that has been made. But I look forward to someone doing a film or series on the Donald trump presidency. Now that will be scary and thought provoking.

Secret hideaway in the pennines

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

A Call to Spy

Both based on true events, and although different both very good

127 hours! Not a feel good film and potentially a tough watch for some but I found the film and real story behind it an amazing example of human will

Lion & the imitation game have been mentioned and are both excellent.

I'd suggest 'the revenant' also.

I think ‘Room’ was a true story, very good to watch despite the story line.
