Shocking Doc “The Age of Disclosure” to Make Contact With Viewers on Prime Video
The Age of Disclosure, director/producer Dan Farah’s chillingly compelling alien doc that premiered at the SXSW Film Festival (read our reaction to the film here), has set a worldwide release on Prime Video, as well as an Oscar-qualifying theatrical run in New York City, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles, on November 21. Prime Video has secured an exclusive VOD window for the film, which is now available for pre-order.
Farah’s film is the product of three years of working in secrecy to gain access to highly-placed government officials to discuss a highly sensitive and historically taboo subject—the existence of non-human intelligent life and a nearly century-long global coverup to keep the details of our knowledge, and contact with, intelligent alien life a secret. The Age of Disclosure features testimony from military and intelligence personnel and members of the U.S. Government, going on the record about an 80-year worldwide cover-up, and reveals a secret arms race by major nations to reverse-engineer non-human technology in their possession. All of the interviewees have direct knowledge of UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena) information thanks to their positions within the U.S. Government, the U.S. military, NASA, and intelligence agencies. Some of the interviewees include current Secretary of State Marco Rubio, General Jim Clapper (the former Director of National Intelligence), Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Senator Mike Rounds (a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence), and Congressman André Carson (House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence). Their collective concern over the potential threats posed by non-human entities with capabilities beyond our own lends the film considerable heft.
Some of the most shocking testimony about the extent of the cover-up comes from Lue Elizondo, a former Department of Defense official and member of the U.S. Government’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program; Jay Stratton, a former Director of the U.S. Government’s UAP Task Force, who says in the new trailer, “I have seen, with my own eyes, non-human craft and non-human beings”; and Mike Gold, a member of NASA’s UAP Study Team. These are just a few of the highly placed individuals who discuss what we already know about alien incursions into our sovereign airspace, their technology, and the frantic designs of governments worldwide to harness it for their own purposes.
Farah’s film has already received support from two Academy Award winners—Oliver Stone called the film, “Monumental… A once-in-a-generation cultural flashpoint.” Academy Award-winning documentarian Bryan Fogel added, “An expertly crafted and extraordinary film.”
The initial trailer for The Age of Disclosure garnered more than 20 million views across all platforms. Ryan Pirozzi, Head of Prime Video Marketplace, stated, “We are thrilled to broaden our selection of premium entertainment by offering The Age of Disclosure to our global Prime Video customers.”
Farah is joining host Thom Powers and several other of the year’s most acclaimed documentarians at the Documentary Spotlight in Hollywood, which features the filmmakers whose non-fiction features are likely front-runners for Oscar nominations. Farah will join a discussion that includes The Alabama Solution (HBO) directors Andrew Jarecki and Charlotte Kauffman, Come See Me in the Good Light (Apple Original Films) producer Jessica Hargrave, Cutting Through Rocks (Gandom Films) director Mohammadreza Eyni, The Perfect Neighbor (Netflix) producer Alisa Payne, and more.
When we surveyed the list of offerings at SXSW ahead of this year’s festival, ‘The Age of Disclosure caught our eye due to a massive sea change in the way government officials, military personnel, and scientists began discussing the possibilities for intelligent life beyond Earth in the past few years. Journalist and author Leslie Keane, who wrote the deeply researched and well regarded “UFOS: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go On The Record,” published in 2010, broke through years later in her reporting for the New York Times, along with other journalists like Helene Cooper and Ralph Blumenthal, about Navy Pilots encountering aircraft that had “no visible engine or infrared exhaust plumes,” yet could reach 30,000 feet and move at hypersonic speeds.” Even the term UFO, which was long associated with quacks and fringe figures—by design, you learn after reading Keane’s book—has been replaced by the more appropriate UAP, as more and more senior officials in the government, military, and intelligence communities have come forward in recent years to reveal what they know. There have been countless run-ins with UAP by pilots in the Air Force, Navy, and civilians flying commercial planes. There have been countless credible eye-witness accounts by soldiers and scientists stationed at military bases and nuclear missile sites around the world. U.S. Air Force pilots had, on camera, experienced run-ins with aerial phenomena they couldn’t classify or understand, which has led to high-level bipartisan congressional sessions and, for the first time, the admission from the U.S. government that they are studying UAPs.
Farah’s doc makes all of the above clear and takes the steady drumbeat of serious discussion and revelation surrounding the UAP phenomenon a step further. The idea that governments around the world possess alien technology is, in a word, chilling. Now, on November 21, audiences worldwide will get a glimpse inside the halls of power and hear from individuals with direct knowledge of just how seriously they’re taking the UAP issue. Farah’s film is a must-see.
