A mockumentary is a work of fiction presented in the style of a nonfiction documentary, usually to mock or satirize its subject matter. Unlike documentaries that feature real people and actual interviews, mockumentaries almost always use actors. Some classic examples of mockumentaries include This Is Spinal Tap, A Hard Day’s Night, and The Blair Witch Project.
