This study aims to examine the relation between mock-documentary and the factual discourse of documentary. This relation presupposes all the possible influences of mock-documentary towards the factual discourse of documentary. Within the study the focus is being put on how viewers evaluate the reality status of mock-documentaries, how they distinguish and correlate the elements of ‘fact’ and ‘fiction’. Such recognition and differentiation of real and invented by the viewers will work as key to understanding on how mock-documentaries create the credibility and reliability among its audience.

Key words: fact, fiction, mock-documentary, parody, factuality.
