Docudrama

A programme that mixes documentary material with dramatised scenes, which can blur fact and re-enactment.

Docudramas often compress timelines or invent dialogue. They are starting points for curiosity, not primary evidence.

Note when a show uses actors, reconstructions, or composite characters.
