This second edition of No other Way To Tell It defines the form,
analyses its codes and conventions, and reviews contrasting
histories in America and British practice - taking into account new
developments since the first edition. These include television's
radically new ecology; with factual formats a growth area.
Docudrama in film has also burgeoned recently, partly because the
industries themselves have grown closer and partly because of
continued interest in the lives of the famous and of those in the
news. International co-production now exploits many different
screening opportunities and possibilities, with the result that
docudrama and become a cinematic as well as televisual staple.
Docudrama is not only popular with audiences; it also causes
constant flurries of commentary and controversy. Concerns about
'borders' and 'boundaries', a questioning of documentary's claim to
represent the real, doubts about the popular audience's ability to
cope with new approaches to the ideas of witness, testimony and
confession, authenticity and truth - all fuel the debate. This new
edition situates docudrama and its ongoing debates within a newly
vibrant and still highly contentious field of practice. This book
will interest readers - academic and general - with an interest in
fact-based drama in film, theatre and television -- .
