Reply to comment by PineappleSimilar in What tv series would have worked better as a film? by antonimbus

The difference is that the victims in Dahmer are real people. So putting those scenes into a movie or TV show could have negative impact on the victim's families and friends who happen to see it. Yes, we could say, well they can just avoid the show or movie, but why even put it out there?

So what do you think about for example movie Hotel Ruanda? It covers tragic historic event. Genuinely curious. Cheers.

I've never seen it and don't know what it's about. But if it's about a war, that can be more broad strokes and not focus on specific events that happened to specific people. It's nearly impossible to make a movie/show about a serial killer and everyone watching not be able to know exactly who the victim was in real life, even if they change names.
