Why do we even need the word "docudrama"? Isn't every play or movie that is about real people and events but is recreated with actors a "docudrama"? And aren't there thousands of those? Hasn't that been a Hollywood staple since there was a Hollywood?

They all have to make changes from reality (if for no other reason than the constraints of time). Whether the changes constitute a distortion is a case-by-case thing.

Fund's is really a stupid argument. What these people seem to be saying that no movies or plays should be based on a real story or on history.

Are they saying that Hollywood should stop making any movies about historical events?
