Milestone

In a concept I haven't seen before, American social injustice comes face-to-face with extraterrestrial life. As a viewer, I see the resolution the protagonists can and should ideally strive for, while recognizing the hard truth of how power instead seeks to maintain itself and only itself. I found myself rooting for, applauding, mourning, and raging against various characters.

Through its found footage docudrama construct, Milestone is able to explore so many aspects of society almost seamlessly. Testimonials juxtaposed with old footage build a world impacted by a historic event, forever changed but never healed.
