Reenactment is like a drama show, but the story is based on an actual event. Most common forms are reenactment of a war or a battle, and reenactment of a crime. Actors and actresses performance trying to show what might actually happened.
An re enactment is a process of reproducing an incident that has happened in the past. It's usually done by a some ("care-leir-fair") temporary actor/actress under the instructions of a producer, replicating a scene that happened in the past.
*Note that a repeat telecast is not an re enactment.
Hope I read you right.
