Docudrama


 * Docudrama**

Docudrama is a dramatization based on fact that combines documentary and fictional elements. Docudramas are representations of historical events or lives of historical characters that present a particular point of view from within the event or from the perspective of an outsider looking in. The performers often use historical costumes and authentic dialogue to enhance the dramatization. Docudrama strengthens understanding by transforming knowledge about a person or event in to a new creative form.
