I created an interactive map that lets you explore movies(among other things) based on where and when their stories take place; and what historical events were happening at the same time!

I built StoryTerra, an interactive world map where you can explore movies, books, games, and TV shows based on where and when their stories take place, and see what real historical events were unfolding at the same time.

The platform brings together over 120,000 titles, all tagged with their narrative time periods and real-world (or closest fictional) locations. You can click on cities, regions, or countries, then use a time slider to browse across centuries, decades, or individual years.

Once you set a time, the entire map shifts to that era, so you can freely travel the world and see what stories, and real history, were happening everywhere during that time.

You can also create and share your own lists of stories!

It's a new way to discovering how fiction and real history intersect.

Would love to have some feedback, I’m always looking to improve it!
