A docudrama (or documentary drama) is a genre of radio and television programming, feature film, and staged theatre, which features dramatized re-enactments of actual events. On stage, it is sometimes known as documentary theatre. 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. Dialogue may include the actual words of real-life persons, as recorded in historical documents. Docudrama producers sometimes choose to film their reconstructed events in the actual locations in which the historical events occurred. A docudrama, in which historical fidelity is the keynote, is generally distinguished from a film merely "based on true events", a term which implies a greater degree of dramatic license; and from the concept of "historical drama", a broader category which may also encompass largely fictionalized action taking place in historical settings or against the backdrop of historical events. As a neologism, the term ''docudrama'' is sometimes confused with docufiction. However, unlike docufiction—which is essentially a documentary filmed in real time, incorporating some fictional elements—docudrama is filmed at a time subsequent to the events it portrays. == Characteristics == Docudramas tend to demonstrate some or most of the following characteristics *Representation of actual historical events *Focus on the facts of the event, as they are known *Use of literary and narrative techniques to flesh out the bare facts of an event in history to tell a story *Some degree of license is often taken with minor historical facts for the sake of enhancing the drama A good docudrama does not abuse dramatic license, and avoids overt commentary and explicit assertion of the creator's own point of view or beliefs. Docudramas are distinct from historical fiction, in which the historical setting is a mere backdrop for a plot involving fictional characters. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「docudrama」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
