Documentary vs. Fiction?

Scriptwriter and director Concha Barquero considers the documentary/fiction duality in terms of two narrative modes that are supposedly distinct for historical reasons, doing so in the context of the documentary film Cuaderno de Barro (The Clay Diaries), directed by Isaki Lacuesta and featuring artist Miquel Barceló.
