Tribulation 99: Alien Anomalies Under America

Did you know the CIA was actually established in response to a covert alien invasion originating in the south pole? Unrelenting, lurid, and hilarious, this “pseudo-pseudo-documentary” from experimental auteur Craig Baldwin offers an alternate history of US intervention in Latin America as an alien race inundates Earth with human replicants. In response, the CIA plots against infamous alien operatives such as Jacobo Árbenz, Fidel Castro, and Salvador Allende. UFOs are real, the Earth is hollow, and the Panama Canal is flooded with radioactive waste.

This delightfully cheesy mock-doc brilliantly satirizes conspiracy theories while still documenting the very real public actions made by the CIA against Latin American leaders in the late 20th century.
