goal. Whether it be a docudrama with a production team of 40-

both are striving for authenticity–and Dennis knows a thing or
two about how to get as close as possible to the real thing, to
reach that special moment when you say, "This is it. This is what
it was like."
"It doesn't happen very often," he said, "but when it does, you
always remember it. It hits hard."
