First Contact: An Alien Encounter

SINOSSI

A unique look at the possibility of extra-terrestrial life, combining narrative drama and documentary interviews with some of the world's leading scientific thinkers. Technological breakthroughs have given astronomers the ability to see deeper into the galaxy than ever before. As a result, many leading scientists believe it is just a matter of time before we detect evidence of extra-terrestrial life. This feature documentary series boldly breaks new ground on the subject by combining a scientifically informed fictional narrative with interviews featuring some of the world's foremost scientists and thinkers, including Dr Jill Tarter, the inspiration for Jodie Foster's character in the film Contact. This incredible programme not only explores what might be out there in the universe, but also offers a fascinating new perspective on humanity here on Earth.
