Is Netflix’s ’42 Days of Darkness’ Based on a True Story?

And while 42 Days is technically based on a true story, the directors don’t like to use that phrase.

“It was very important, when making a decision as directors, to work on a story that is not based on, but inspired; therefore, it does not attempt to document an absolute truth, but rather to choose a greater reflection, much broader,” Claudia Huaiquimilla told Chilean newspaper La Tercera, via Al Día.
