Sumario:This article establishes a theoretical position that distinguishes between what is called conditional tense documentary and historical fake documentaries. In order to do this, the gap between a statement and the enunciation, and the concept of discursive community, will be the fundamental tools. Then, analyses of four historical fake documentaries are made. These movies affirm (not conjecture) alternative pasts and presents through the expressive tools of the documentary. This allows us to distinguish between the multiplicity of truths and the affirmation of a truth, the latter being the political project of fake documentary, and the emancipatory potential it has within documentary cinema.
