    Out of respect for James Fox's prior documentaries and efforts, I'll rate this a 5/10 review.

    Of all the documentary filmmakers who've delved into the UFO/UAP phenomenon in the past 30 years, James Fox has put out some of the best work on this subject:. Films such as I Know What I Saw, Out of the Blue, The phenomenon, Moment of Contact, have all been stellar imo. I purchased this latest one, on day one of its release, filled with eager anticipation. Having watched it I must say this is a massive disappointment. Caveat, perhaps for the uninitiated, they may find some intrigue in the recent legislation and the drama surrounding it, culminating ultimately the unfortunate dismantling of the disclosure bill. But for those of us who have been following this issue for quite some time, there is nothing new in this documentary. I guess you could say I'm kind of shocked at the lack of anything revelatory. While The Program is factually accurate unlike a Dr. Steven Greer documentary, it's nonetheless still full of fluff. This is unfortunately, perhaps the inevitable byproduct of what happens when news casters, film makers, etc. Put all their eggs in the UFO money making basket, as ufologists or disclosure advocates, they run out of anything new to say on the subject matter.

    Great summary for those interested in the topic

    James Fox delivered a really good overview and summary on what's been going on in the government for the past few years in regards to the UFO/UAP topic. Don't be fooled, if this was a show presenting you a proof that this topic is real and we have alien invasion on the way, you would hear it in all news stations. What The Program does well is at least showing you that the topic of UFOs shouldn't be dismissed or ridiculed as there are many government, intelligence and military officials and who have been involved in it for years. What would be great is to make it more a documentary and less drama music and the deep voice of the narrator which is a bit childish for me. Anyway, best one I've seen so far. Well done James!

    Disclosure by proxy

    I'm going to keep this simple...we ARE NOT ALONE, WE HAVE NEVER BEEN ALONE! Those of a belief in God know that He is the creator of multiple universes, and uncalculable varieties of life forms and varying intelligences throughout the cosmos. Why? Because He's God. It is uninformed, uninspired, self-centered and egoistic thinking that bouys a belief that we are the best God could do. We are zygotes, a blink of the eye to the negative quadrillionth power in the universal timeline thus far. How do you profess the belief that God is who He says He is, "I am that I am", yet limit Him on the possibility of Him having created different life forms more advanced than us? "They" are just another representation of His omnipotence; a different form of life that He has ALSO bequeathed with free will. And just like us, because of the free will He gives us ALL, some do right, and others commit evil.

    Same old stuff

    This documentary seems like a dime a dozen. It's the same old stuff that we've been hearing for years now. This is just another film regurgitating what we've already seen on YouTube, the news, etc. I have a lot of respect for James Fox, but not worth the money for the rental. Tell us something we don't know and then this would be a better review. It gives you a little more insight in how the government has gone out of their way to hide certain aspects of this case, but nothing that would surprise you. I don't understand why these whistleblowers don't just take a chance and tell us something of value. I'm tired of hearing, I can't talk about it. Oh wow, you don't say...

    Love James Fox but....

    I love a good documentary and my favorite topic is anything related to UAP's. I think this particular subject comes under a high level of scrutiny because of the decades of controversy, cover-up, and sensationalism. There is so much truth to the UAP phenomenon and I believe James Fox is outstanding in his investigation and content put fourth in this documentary. However, what I think is unnecessary, and reduces its credence, is the constant soundtrack music. Especially during interviews. It is not only distracting, but overly sensationalizes the topic. I actually enjoyed "Moment of Contact" much more from James Fox.
