All images and sounds including first person voice-overs, interviews, documentation were taken by the perpetrators themselves, but this video is made to look like a seamless documentary, with a narrator (conspicuously with an Irish accent to distance the creators I suppose from an American point of view). I think one could write a thesis on this as a found footage fake documentary no matter how true is all the footage and even the conclusions of the propos. That is, fake documentary in the sense of a found footage collage, but not fake news.
