If Hollywood tried to make a movie out of the Freedom Riders' attempt to end segregation, it would be unlikely that their rendering would be as authentic as the Freedom Riders documentary. Details might be changed in Hollywood, such as how Martin Luther King was afraid to incite violence by promoting the movement. In Hollywood, the filmmakers might even try to make him appear as a relentless hero who establishes no boundaries to achieve his goals. This distortion would result from the fact that filmmakers like to appeal to the audience by telling them stories that have a happy ending, or fulfill expectations. These stories are sometimes inaccurate in movies, because the events depicted will be altered so that the story has a defined structure as a certain genre would. In this case Hollywood would probably create a stereotypical Jim Crow film. In other words, the Freedom Riders might be depicted as rebellious when in fact they were trying to be peaceful. Also, there would likely be actors and not primary source documents/films, and the real people in the documentary would probably not be used. Due to copyright issues and people's consent to have their actions publicized, Hollywood would have to somewhat distort what actually happened. Documentaries usually have the exact quotes that movies do not usually use. In addition, Hollywood often portrays too much violence, and I would think there would be too much focus on violence in a Hollywood rendition of the Freedom Riders, as opposed to a focus on people's motives for being Freedom Riders. While a movie would probably be less accurate than a documentary, a movie may appeal to people's emotions more by creating a story and therefore be more effective. More over, a Hollywood movie for the Freedom Riders would be less authentic than the documentary, but would be more effective for audiences.
