Wikipedia states:
“The historical drama is a film genre in which stories are based upon historical events and famous persons. Some historical dramas attempt to accurately portray a historical event or biography, to the degree that the available historical research will allow. Other historical dramas are fictionalized tales that are based on an actual person and their deeds, such as Braveheart, which is loosely based on the 13th century knight William Wallace's fight for Scotland's independence.” Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_historical_drama_films
This definition fits in with ‘Another Life’ in that it is set in the First World War, even though it doesn’t actually show any fighting. It also follows a real person in history, even though he isn’t famous. Also, ‘Another Life’ is a mixture of the two takes on historical films- like many historical films e.g. 300, I have and will further, research the period and topic matter, but also allow creative license to ‘fill in the gaps’, so to speak.
