  • Hollywood’s True Story Lies: 10 Films That Betrayed History This week on Did You Know, the spotlight turns to Hollywood's long-standing habit of rewriting history under the guise of “based on a true story.” While audiences expect some artistic license, a deeper dive into ten major films reveals just how far liberal-leaning Hollywood studios are willing to distort facts to serve their narratives.

    A number of high-profile films stray significantly from the truth—sometimes rewriting entire legacies in the process. The most glaring offender may be The Imitation Game, which misrepresented the personality and contributions of Alan Turing to fit a dramatic arc.

    What emerges from this review is not just a pattern of error but a clear agenda: modern filmmakers prioritize messaging over truth. Whether by glorifying certain groups, demonizing others, or crafting convenient fictional arcs, these distortions serve a broader cultural narrative often rooted in left-wing ideology. The erosion of factual integrity is not just an artistic misstep—it’s part of Hollywood's continued effort to reshape how Americans perceive their past.

    The Did You Know podcast this week emphasizes the problem of letting fiction pass as truth, especially when media giants continue to push historical revisionism under the pretense of entertainment.

    The lesson for listeners: don’t trust the silver screen to tell the truth. Do your own research and question the stories pushed by institutions that have consistently shown a willingness to bend reality to fit the message.
