Sometimes filmmakers not only show us the stories of real people, but also recreate the whole scenes. Of course, it’s about the recreation of events that took place not a long time ago, the events that were captured on video or, at least, photo.
As a result, we can compare real documentaries with scenes from movies. Links to the videos of each event will be under the photos. As for the films, you may just watch them.
