A note to remember: docudramas are always done with creativity and artistic liberty in their ways of narrating and retelling certain historical narratives. Thus, it is always obligatory, no matter how wonderfully done a film, a documentary drama or a TV series must be, it must always be taken with a grain of salt, and one must always go back to the source: that is, reading the Bible itself.
