With generic characteristics formed via traditions in theatre as well as film, and with claims to fact underscored by investigative journalism, television docudrama examines key events and personalities in unfolding national histories. Post-Fall of the Berlin Wall, docudrama has become a means for nations to work through traumatic experiences both within national borders and Europe-wide. In this regard, it is an important genre for television networks as they attempt to make sense of complex current events. These authors offer a template for further study, and point towards ways in which European television cultures beyond those discussed here might be considered in the future.Palgrave European Film and Media Studies,2634-615XMotion pictures and televisionEthnology—EuropeJournalismScreen Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413000European Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411070Journalismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X28010EuropagndMotion pictures and television.Ethnology—Europe.Journalism.Screen Studies.European Culture.Journalism.791.4Ebbrecht-Hartmann Tobiasedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtPaget Derekedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910255237303321Docudrama on European Television2541224UNINA
