You Don't Know Jack reality fiction
by ccManagerCommentary summary:
The real Mike Wallace is composited with Al Pacino as Jack Kevorkian in a hybrid-fictional episode of 60 Minutes
Text Commentary:
It has become commonplace for reality-based fictional narratives to incorporate elements of the "real world" especially via TV broadcasts and reporters. This example from HBO's Kevorkian biopic You Don't Know Jack literally composites and intercuts the real Mike Wallace with images of Al Pacino as Kevorkian. This once-controversial practice is now accepted as a convention of docufiction, designed to underscore the veracity of the central narrative.
