Explores issues raised by "fake docs" such as the fiction/documentary divide, the ethics of reality-based manipulation, and whether documentariness derives from form or reception. Defining the borderline between fact and fiction, this work reveals that many documentaries lie to tell the truth, and that the truth is relative.
