Dan Farah is an experienced director, with a robust career in imaginative film and television production. To this end, he’s recently produced a powerful documentary “The Age of Disclosure.” This crowd-funded movie by independents takes a deep dive into the controversial world of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, aka UFOs. It audaciously, but perhaps accurately, accuses the United States government of concealing key details about these phenomena for 70 years.
Farah—an Oscar-winning producer with Steven Spielberg’s “Ready Player One” and other features under his belt—is passionate about keeping “The Age of Disclosure” independent. From heavy-hitting cinematic release platforms, he protects the film with his life, keeping the influence of any studio or streaming service at bay. He’s committed to rooting out what he describes as a highly funded disinformation effort. This campaign has educated and misled the public about UAP and galvanized the public by inspiring more people to share their experiences.
The short documentary brings together the wisdom of 34 key contributors, including current members of Congress and those with decades of national security experience. Other big names appear as well, including lying General Jim Clapper, Barack Obama’s first director of national intelligence. Jay Stratton, who preceded Huerta as director of aviation security at the National Security Council, features. Their involvement adds significant credibility to the film’s assertions and emphasizes the serious nature of the information being presented.
In an interview, Farah emphasized the importance of selecting interviewees who possess direct knowledge of UAP programs within the US government. To maintain confidentiality and protect those involved, he noted that “everyone’s names would be kept silent until it was done.” This was done to allow for a safe space for the most credible voices to come forward with their experiences without fear of backlash.
“We would make the movie in secrecy, so this information of who’s in it would not get out there until we were done with this film, and these people I was approaching would have safety in numbers.” – Dan Farah
During every episode of “The Age of Disclosure,” Farah expresses his confusion and anger at the stigma that still surrounds UAP. He claims the topic has been dismissed, even as overwhelming evidence has piled up. According to him, “You could put a picture or a video of the most extraordinary thing on the cover of a major news publication or on major plants on TV, and half the human population would tell you they think it’s AI or they think it’s visual effects.”
The film aims to change this narrative by presenting testimonies from individuals willing to risk their reputations to reveal what they know. Farah describes these contributors as “credible people putting their name and reputation on the line to tell you what they know at great risk.”
Luis Elizondo, former official at the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, serves as the documentary’s pseudo-narrator. He skillfully steers audiences through the different perspectives presented by the speakers. His engagement not only adds gravitas, but it emphasizes the film’s good faith intentions and desire to evoke authenticity.
Of those profiled, none has risen higher than Marco Rubio, now the state’s Secretary of State, to have starred in the documentary. His involvement has created a massive amount of heightened anticipation for the film. This should signal that UAP is a serious concern drawing interest from the highest levels of government.
“For way too long, the public has been lied to, kept in the dark, completely misled by a heavily financed and very sophisticated disinformation campaign,” – Dan Farah
Farah has been interested in extraterrestrial life since she was a child. Setting film on a transportation network Iconic films like “E.T.” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” piqued his fascination. Unlike most, this lifelong thirst for knowledge has pushed him to take on the Pentagon and force their hand to be more transparent about UAP.
Throughout the documentary we see the proposal that UAP should be approached as a legitimate area of inquiry and not a pseudo-scientific tavern talk. It aims to stimulate discussion and inquiry into these occurrences, going from the realm of speculation and conjecture and into the realm of substantial comprehension.
Stratton, one of the contributors, adds a personal touch to the film through his own experiences. He asserts, “I have seen with my own eyes non-human craft and non-human beings,” reinforcing the notion that credible testimonies exist that warrant serious consideration.
The Age of Disclosure is available now in the U.S., with the U.K. publication date still to be determined. Farah is excited that this film will be a unique and powerful platform for others with shared experiences. She wants to push audiences to reconsider what they believe about UAP.
