First Contact: An Alien Encounter (2022)
Not a documentary! This is FICTION

I had wacky confusion over what PBS did with this show. It never clued us in clearly what they were doing, so I kept wondering "when did this happen? How did I miss the rioting and drama? What???!!" And I'm a science fiction writer and social media adept. Do not call it a documentary, PBS. It's an imagining using technology already present. Give us a clue of real vs fiction as we're watching it. Or, know what? This demeans true scientific discovery when you present "truth adjacent" stuff as real. Politicians do that; PBS be different.
Science fiction, in case these producers are confused, is worthwhile & does JUST what they pretended to do.
