ντοκιμαντέρ-δραματοποιημένο

a movie or television show based on real events, but not accurate in all the details

What is a "docudrama"?

A docudrama is a type of film or television show that combines elements of both documentary and drama. It portrays real events or real-life stories with actors playing the roles of actual people, and it often includes dramatized scenes to make the story more engaging. While a docudrama aims to present factual events, it may not always be completely accurate as it incorporates fictional elements or re-enactments to enhance the narrative. The goal is to provide both information and entertainment, blending factual content with dramatic storytelling, but viewers should be aware that some details might be exaggerated or altered for dramatic effect.
