Has anyone seen the movie 'Domino' based on a true story on the life of Domino Harvey a bounty hunter in the US. She was a model from a wealthy family and then became a bounty hunter. Domino approved of the movie realising that many aspects of the film had to be dramatised.
Story 1
This leads me onto the novel I am working on based a true story. Briefly it deals with the turbulent 80's in South Africa centered around the death of a detainee whilst in dentention. This story is fairly well documented story with the Chief Interrogator still being around. He oversaw a 72-hour interrogation of the detainee which led to the death of the detainee who was found hanging in his cell.
Can the names of the people involved be mentioned in the novel. Where there is no documentation of events I will fill in the gaps myself as to what could have happened. I have access to two universities and the detainess family and friends. How much licence have I got on dramatisation?
Story 2
Briefly the crash of the 'Helederberg' (Boeing B-747-244B Combi South African Airways Flight 295) on November 28, 1987. The flight originated from Taiwan and had 'hazardous material' on board. The plane had a huge fire on board resulting in the death of 140 passengers and 19 crew. Speculation is rife as to what could have occured. The tapes from the black boxes disappeared after having been found. The hazardous material could have been explosives, rocket fuel etc. At the time Taiwan was in bed with the National Party government with P. W. Botha at the helm.
Again names and speculation as to what could have occured...how far can I push it.
