Genre: Documentary
Conditions of visioning: 10.08.2020, VOD, 14" computer screen.
Synopsis: This Documentary focuses on the historic files of the Disclosure Project and how UFO secrecy has been ruthlessly enforced – and why.
Review: After watching too many videos about the Flat Earth phenomenon (like the documentary Behind the Curve), and the movie Capricorn One linked to the conspiracy theory around the Moon landings, I wanted to get updated on the status of UFO and Aliens sightings. My latest information was that there were much less sightings now that everybody has a camera in their pocket than 30 years ago when such sightings were recorded on blurry grainy films. This was to me a strong argument that all those proofs were fake.
Unacknowledged is revolving around a man called Steven M. Greer, founder of the Disclosure Project, a project which seeks the disclosure of allegedly classified secret UFO information, from the American government and Military. His project has gathered an incredible amount of evidence (films and testimonies) that not only Earth was visited by an Alien spaceship which crashed in Roswell in the 50's, but that there are many many more of such visits, that they are kept a secret (even from governments) or discredited by the industrial-military complexes of the World, in order to keep on making profit from oil, staged wars, and ultimately faking an Alien invasion which will result in the maximum benefit for them.
Waw, this seems far-fetched but Greer (who they keep on insisting is a Doctor) looks like a sane guy and has organized proofs, not like the deniers who believe the Earth is flat.
The problem a little bit is that I don't know how much one can trust the poor-quality leaked scans presented as proofs, and even less the testimonies of humans. It is known that many people would tell tons of lies if it gave them some celebrity. Also, how are some of those people allowed to talk about such secrets, as they were or still are employed by governments (like high-ranking military or CIA former officials)?
Technically the Documentary is well-done and conveys its message (and the voice of Giancarlo Esposito is a plus), although it clearly takes the side of the conspirationists. Steven M. Greer is co-producing it after all.
Sure, it would be great to know of Aliens visits if they were true but I am still not convinced. Maybe I would need to see a study of video proofs, showing possible Earth-based explanations for many of them, but also a list of the ones which cannot yet be explained.
Rating: 5 /10
