In his book on television docudrama in America and Britain, media scholar Derek Paget also emphasizes that the reenactment is “an inherently indexical form,” necessarily pointing “beyond the realm of fiction to a realm of non-fiction that is always already-lived.”69 He writes,

The drama-documentary seeks to overlay the Stanislavskian emotional equivalence of “As If’ with a documentary-indexical “See This!”. The relation to reality claimed in the solely dramatic “as if’ through equivalence and parallel is asserted in dramatic documentary mode through the repetitions of reconstruction/reenactment (these words/actions, in this place—with a gesture back to “that time”). Where one set of actions is in parallel to the real, the other is an attempt to superimpose, to fit with a template, an acted “reality” on film on to a previous, unfilmed one.70
