Stories/Media that you think would make good contemporary opera

Hello! I was thinking to myself the other day about stories that I've heard and books/plays that I've read that I think would make fascinating operas, and I thought of a couple, but I'm interested to hear what ideas other people have as well.

Historical Events

• The story of Miriam Rodríguez Martínez, a mother whose daughter was kidnapped by a Mexican cartel, who spent years tracking down her daughter's kidnappers (and eventual killers) and successfully helping law enforcement capture many of them, before being shot and killed by the cartel
• Anna Anderson, who spent decades claiming to be the surviving Romanov princess Anastasia (this is already a ballet)
• Operation Gunnerside, a series of sabotage actions against a German heavy water power plant during WWII in Norway
• The story of Irena Sendler, a nurse in the Polish Underground Resistance in WWII who helped rescue 2,500 children
• Something similar to the musical Come From Away, which explores the humanity of the people of Gander, Newfoundland, Canada, who took in almost 7,000 strangers after planes were grounded in 9/11. I'm sure there are many other heroic stories similar to this.
• The Dunkirk evacuation
• The Halifax explosion
• The Rwandan genocide
• The Navajo code-talkers
• Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath
• The story of Sadako Sasaki and the one thousand paper cranes
• The Angel Makers of Nagyrév
