Does anyone have an ancestor famous enough to have a film or documentary made about them? (lemmy.world)

My grandpa was half of an amalgamated character in The Devil's Brigade. Un real life, there were more than, like, twenty of them, so they 'merged' my grandpa and a couple of his friends into one character for the movie. It's weird seeing my grandpa die heroically during the Monte La Difensa campaign in the movie, when he actually lived into his 90's.

I guess that's kinda famous?
