DocuWeeks NY 2009

The war on terror has gone on for over seven years, yet all politics implemented have failed to produce significant results. John Ashcroft’s Justice Department designed a registration program for immigrants already in the US, based on their nationality, not on the targeted people’s actions. Aliens Among Us describes the lives of these people, who are targeted because they are “different” and therefore a potential danger. The drastic measures are supposed to protect us from them. But where do we draw the line?

Please note: ALIENS AMONG US screens as part of a shorts program with 12 NOTES DOWN, CROSSING MIDNIGHT and RABBIT À LA BERLIN. Tickets purchased grant admission to the entire shorts program for the date indicated on the ticket.
