Fakten und Fiktionen. Das Dokudrama im Fernsehen (2001)

The docu-drama is a mixed form of documentary material and staged scenes, which has experienced a renaissance in recent years. It has a long tradition in Germany largely promoted by the NDR and WDR as a television genre. In the core elements of its story a docudrama strives to adhere to known historical facts, while allowing a greater or lesser degree of dramatic license in peripheral details, and where there are gaps in the historical record.
