What is your documentary about?
The stakes in this race could not be higher.
Does the government really know more about this than we the public know?"

I made the doc in pursuit of the answers to these questions, and investigated the truth.
What came out in these interviews was surprising.
He adds a lot of believability when he’s willing to talk about things like this.

Talk a little bit about the people who are in the doc and their credibility factor.
No one person had to go out on a limb and put themselves out there alone.
They were surrounded by dozens of other high-level people.
Every single person in this film is aware of a lot of information they could never legally disclose.
Why Hasn’t There Been More Information Released Before Now?
“This has been the greatest disinformation campaign in the history of the U.S government.”

That’s something I want to know.
It’s very possible, probable, that we have been encountering UAPs for a very long time.
Why do you think it is that more footage or more information has not come out over time?

By the way, I’m a firm believer.
The film does an amazing job at explaining the UAPs, which I found fascinating.
It’s pretty obvious they’re here.
In The Age of Disclosure, 34 senior U.S. government, military, and intelligence officials reveal an 80-year cover-up of non-human intelligent life and a secret international race to reverse-engineer extraterrestrial technology.
There are obviously people in the government who are researching all this.
How many people do you think are actually working on UAP stuff in the government?
Did anyone tell you?
FARAH: I think a lot more people touch this topic day-to-day than the public has any awareness of.
Now, there’s a lot more money the government has access to.
I’m sure that people told you stuff off-camera that you could not talk about in the doc.
Like I said, I disagree with Marco Rubios politics, but he’s a smart individual.
FARAH: He’s amazing in the film.
What was it like getting him?
The chairman of that is [Mark] Warner from Virginia.
Rubio and Warner are privy to more classified information on this topic than any of the Senate.
If you really unpack his words, he’s saying that in thepast, it wasn’t worth it.
It’s a really serious situation.
One of the things about Trump is he has such a loose mouth in terms of everything.
I’m wondering, it’s just how long before he wants to start talking about this.
FARAH: I’ve been told that the new administration is bullish on bringing the truth out.
In a lot of ways, it does the job for them.
That day was the epitome of showing how bipartisan the topic is.
They’re literally articulating how important it is.
These were hour-plus interviews where they went as far as they possibly could.
It’s pretty fascinating.
I’m so grateful for it.
The film is for sale at SXSW?
FARAH: We’re figuring out the commercial distribution now, talking to distributors.
There are a lot of interested parties.
It was pretty wild.
Why didn’t he take on this property?
They go through the sky, and they go into the ocean.
This can’t be real.
The doc really explains how a ship could do this.
Do you want to talk about that?
Can your average person follow this?
I’m really proud of that.
It’s a key scene in the documentary.
Oh, 100%.
Your film makes it so that it’s science-explained.
You don’t hear me.
You don’t see me.
When I’m filming, I’m the one asking the questions and everything.
Because my opinion doesn’t really matter, right?
I’m basically the audience.
That’s 100% true, because it’s them carrying the weight.
I’m just like the audience.
I’m a guy with a bunch of big questions.
It’s less about what I think.
I really enjoyed this, doc.
FARAH: Yeah, but I don’t really view it as an other side.
You know what I mean?
Like showing the “disinformation campaign,” if that makes any sense.
FARAH: No, because it’s just not what the movies about.
I just wanted to create involvement for these guys to speak up, and comfortably share their truth.
What would the Secretary of State have to gain?
This is more me playing like the devil’s advocate.
FARAH: Here’s actually a great way to make this point.
It’s human nature, right?
Did you have a much longer cut?
FARAH: Oh, yeah.
My first director’s cut was like four and half hours long.
FARAH: I feel like this is the one everyone needs to watch.
You know that saying, like, kill your darlings."
It’s tough choices you make in the edit room.
Ultimately, I think it’s always for the better.
It makes the thing move more.
I feel really great about where it landed.
Maybe a scene or two I might add on a DVD or something.
I still want to do DVDs, by the way.
I don’t care how we distribute this movie, I want to do DVDs.
[Laughs]
You should do a physical release.
FARAH: There will be some things I will probably put on some special features.
I really am proud of where we landed.
I feel really great about it.
Anyone who’s questioning, I would definitely urge anyone to look at who these people are.
Congressman [Andre] Carson, for example, a leader in the Democratic Party.
He’s talking about otherworldly things.
He’s talking about things that are interdimensional.
Hes talking about it seriously with a straight face and from a place of awareness.
He also is the Chairman of the first congressional hearing on UAP.
Listen, like I said, I’m a believer.
You walk out of your doc, and it’s like, Well, okay, they’re here.
By the way, let’s explore the oceans.
Just throwing that out there.
It’s amazing how we’ve not gone down there, but we’ve gone to space.
It’s almost like no one wants to do it.
Why aren’t we going down there?
It’s almost like there’s a concerted effort tonotgo down there.
FARAH: [Laughs] I would say so.
