In Steven Spielberg’s new movie Disclosure Day, an analyst (played by Josh O’Connor) working for a shadowy quasi-governmental agency learns that highly intelligent extraterrestrials exist; the agency has been keeping this knowledge secret for decades, torturing and experimenting on the aliens and misusing their technology. He decides to expose this conspiracy and goes on the run with a bagful of evidence with a plan to bring it to the public via the main TV networks. This is one of many touching boomerisms contained in the movie - I guess he really wants to get this information to a microscopic audience of 80 year olds who have fallen asleep in front of their TVs.
