ET CONTACT: THEY ARE HERE documents the jaw-dropping stories of individuals from around the world who share similar accounts of extraterrestrial and otherworldly encounters. Producer and host Caroline Cory, who has her own extensive history with the supernatural, takes the viewers on an extraordinary journey to uncover whether these seemingly independent yet parallel reports may actually be scientific evidence of a greater phenomenon at work. Through a series of groundbreaking on-camera experiments on human DNA, and interviews with leading scientists, viewers will find themselves pondering the nature of their own reality or yet the true origin of the human species. ET CONTACT may ultimately show that the traditionally unexplained is, in fact, far more attributable to science than fiction. NOTE: This film has been released in some territories under the title: "Among Us".

Category Breakdown
LGBTQ+ Representation
The documentary lacks specific LGBTQ+ character arcs or queer-coded narratives. While it avoids derogatory tropes, it does not feature intentional representation within its investigation of extraterrestrial contact.
Gender Representation
Producer and host Caroline Cory provides a female-led perspective in a genre typically dominated by men. However, the film does not explicitly explore gendered power dynamics or hierarchies.
Racial & Ethnic Diversity
The film features stories from individuals around the world, suggesting a global scope. This potentially disrupts the Anglo-centric focus often found in Western paranormal media, though specific contributor details are limited.
Religious & Cultural Diversity
The narrative challenges traditional Western religious and scientific frameworks by framing the unexplained through scientific inquiry. It promotes a secular skepticism toward established human origin stories and religious dogma.
Disability Representation
There is no evidence regarding the inclusion of neurodivergent individuals or people with physical disabilities in this documentary.

AI Analysis
The film functions as a thematic disruption of traditional Western epistemological boundaries. Rather than focusing on identity politics, it centers on questioning established scientific and religious certainties through a global lens. While it lacks the character-driven intersectionality of scripted cinema, it achieves a moderate score by moving beyond localized viewpoints. The investigation into human origins suggests a progressive inclination toward secularism and globalized perspectives. Ultimately, the documentary's diversity is found in its intellectual framework rather than its social representation, prioritizing the deconstruction of institutional knowledge over specific demographic narratives.
