Docudrama

Docudrama is a type of film or television show that tells a true story in an entertaining way. It combines real people, places, and events but is not shot like a documentary, which usually features actors and actresses re-enacting the events. Docudramas tell stories in an exciting way and show clips of actual footage that happened in real-life. They usually end with a message to the viewer, like a movie.
