Note the photo of Hannah Stilley Gorby, who was ~30 years old when the Declaration of Independence was signed, in 1776. Apparently her birth date preceeds that of anyone else ever photographed.

How accurate are films and videos of historic events?

Films and videos of historic events are only as accurate as the information and sources available to the filmmakers. While they can provide a visual representation of events, they may also include artistic interpretations or biases. It is important to critically evaluate the accuracy of these sources.
