From docudramas to documented fiction, an increasing number of true fact stories are being transformed into captivating fiction or compelling documentary series. In addition, some fiction directors are turning to series and vice versa. What does serial storytelling bring to documentary? What are the common denominators and fundamental differences between serial fiction writing and serial documentary writing? Are docs “written” in the same sense as a drama? What does a dramatization bring that a doc series cannot? What rules do each need to follow to be “truthful” and achieve integrity?
