Some stories are too strange for fiction.

Others are just too inconvenient for runtime.

In this episode, we go behind the screen — examining the true events Hollywood borrowed, polished, and quietly edited before selling them back to us. From Hugh Glass, mauled by a grizzly and left for dead in the Dakota wilderness, to twenty-one men adrift in the Pacific after a sperm whale sank their ship — and what they did to survive.

Because the real stories are full of people who don't get monuments. Who don't get to the third act. Who drew the wrong lot.

Based on a true story. But which true story?

And whose?
