About Real Movies Fake History with Gari and Mel
From the publisher's feed
Real Movies Fake History is hosted by two friends, Gari (the film nerd) and Mel (the history expert), who each episode discuss, debate and laugh about the real history behind diverse and important cinema.
We seek to discover the true story behind films apparently based on a true story. With a particular interest in gender and cultural representation, we love nothing more than to speak on how a particular film represents the world around us.
