A "real" story? Or a "true" story? Are they the same? Thanks a lot for helping answer this question!!

I believe that "true" would be a better choice if the story is about actual events that have taken place. "Real" has a little more connotation to it that the story could have happened, but it hasn't necessarily. At least, this is my opinion.
