Did you know that the phrase **“Based on a true story”** is one of cinema's strongest attention grabbers? Studies of digital behavior show that around 7 in 10 people go straight to Google after a film ends, simply to find the real faces behind the characters and discover how they are doing today.

We are naturally fascinated by true stories. The reason is simple: fiction moves us, but we know it was invented. When we see someone overcoming an incurable illness, restoring a broken marriage or experiencing a miracle, something shifts in our minds: **“If it happened to them, it could happen to me too.”**

But the big question is: among so many streaming services full of content, where can you watch films based on true stories that truly uplift and do you good? **The answer is UNIVER Vídeo.**

Instead of spending hours scrolling through catalogs filled with tragedies and heavy dramas, the platform offers a selection focused on overcoming adversity, hope and faith. To make your choice easier, we have selected **three unmissable titles** based on true events and available in our catalog:

## 1. Em Defesa de Cristo

This film tells the true story of Lee Strobel, an award-winning investigative journalist and outspoken atheist. When his wife converts to Christianity, Lee decides to use all his reporting skills and historical facts to try to prove that Christ's resurrection was a fraud. His investigation, however, changes his life forever.

## 2. Nada a Perder (Parts 1 and 2)

The fascinating true story of Bishop Edir Macedo. The film shows how an ordinary man, driven by unwavering conviction, overcame persecution, imprisonment and seemingly impossible obstacles to build what is now one of the world's largest faith movements.

## 3. Somos Os Que Tiveram Sorte

This series tells the remarkable and moving survival story of the Kurc family, a Polish Jewish family separated at the start of World War II during the Holocaust, who did everything they could to survive and find each other again.
