Ten True-Story Films for Daniel: Platforms, Newsrooms, and a Man Living in a Toy Shop

A follow-up to the documentary picks: ten feature films from 2025 and 2026, nearly all based on true stories, chosen for someone who cares about platforms, media, power and warm absurdity, and who has no time for war films or more true crime. Aaron Sorkin's The Social Reckoning and Robert Pattinson's Primetime are in cinemas now; September 5 and Dead Man's Wire turn live television disasters into newsroom films; The Wizard of the Kremlin is the information-warfare pick; and Song Sung Blue, Bob Trevino Likes It, Roofman and I Swear bring the true stories that are too odd to make up. Plus what to watch for: Guadagnino's OpenAI film Artificial, and Nathan Fielder's Elizabeth Holmes documentary.
