This film is misleading. It is described as a dramatic depiction of actual events. I found it to be inaccurate and fictional. Some of the points made in the movie had no historical basis, while some information was left out to enhance sensationalism. If you remember this disaster, the movie will be a good way of remembering it, but it should not be used to study, as it is not accurate.
