Which historical events or lives would you like to see as movies or TV shows?
Here are a few ideas:
1907 Tiflis bank robbery - when Stalin and Lenin robbed a bank. 40 people died and 50 were wounded.
Magellan's trip around the world. That was one nutty trip filled with superstition, cannibalism, and orgies.
Richard Hunne incident. Hunne was an English bloke who was tortured and killed for heresy by the Catholic Church, who tried to make it look like a suicide. Subsequent trials showed that Church killed him which caused widespread anger against the clergy just before England broke ties with the Catholic Church.
Lee Harvey Oswald biopic. There are several biopics about Ted Kaczynski and even several movies about John Wilkes Booth, so why not about this nutjob? It would also be helpful to show just how insane Oswald was because this is something that usually gets overlooked.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
