I came across this fantastic analysis by the New York Times about the capitol
riot.
Pieced together from hundreds of videos shot by the rioters, in addition to
surveillance footage, police radio recordings, etc, they reconstructed a
documentary following specific protagonists throughout the events. All images
and sounds including first person voice-overs, interviews, documentation were
taken by the perpetrators themselves, but this video is made to look like a
seamless documentary, with a narrator (conspicuously with an Irish accent to
distance the creators I suppose from an American point of view). I think one
could write a thesis on this as a found footage fake documentary no matter how
true is all the footage and even the conclusions of the propos. That is, fake
documentary in the sense of a found footage collage, but not fake news.
