A docudrama is a film or television program that combines documentary and dramatic elements to tell a true story. It often features real events, people, and places, but uses actors to portray the characters and dramatize the narrative. This format aims to engage viewers emotionally while providing factual information. Docudramas can cover a wide range of subjects, including historical events, social issues, or notable figures. Examples include productions about historical figures like Martin Luther King Jr. or significant events such as World War II. They strive to balance entertainment with educational content, making complex topics more accessible.
