dramatic recreation
Acted-out historical event
A dramatic recreation is a staged reenactment of real events, typically for documentary film or television.
Actors portray actual people, recreating scenes that weren't captured on camera: The documentary used dramatic recreations to show the night of the murder.
The technique bridges gaps in archival footage while signaling to viewers that what they're seeing is interpretation rather than documentation.
