HVR Editorial

HVR Editorial is the research and writing collective behind Hollywood vs Reality. We work from primary sources — court records, FBI files, trial transcripts, declassified archives, and published biographies — to document what is verifiable about the people and events that Hollywood films have dramatized. Our articles cite their sources. When the documentary record contradicts the film, we say so plainly. When the record is ambiguous, we say that too. We do not glorify violence and do not run unsourced claims about real people. Corrections: hollywoodvsreality@outlook.com.

Methodology
Court records, FBI files (FOIA), trial transcripts, contemporaneous reporting, and book-length investigations. Sources cited per article.
