So let's not get too close-minded here and, for the sake of argument, assume the premise: that there are, or were, aliens at work on the moon, either on the near or far side or both. And not only on the moon, but on mars and the sun and the earth as this documentary has it.
So how would you go about it to make people believe it?
Let's look at this very unclear old black and white picture of some part of the moon that shows what looks like an artificially created construction because it might resemble the tower of a nuclear plant and therefore it might be a nuclear plant that might be used to make nuclear devices that could be used for offensive or defensive means, hence we are under a threat, just like in the cold war! And we cannot do anything about it and that is why the government doesn't tell us and wants it to remain a secret! It would start a nation wide crisis and as a result the nation would collapse and be send back to the stone age.
Quite.
Why not build your own telescope then and check out the moon? I read you can now get telescopes to discover 1 km wide objects on the surface of the moon. So that should allow you to see those 22 mile high and wide structures.
But nope. Instead you make a documentary with people with vague credentials (Researcher? What kind of title is that?) who use the word 'might' a lot and conjecture up a whole race of human-like aliens and bemoan government led conspiracies, based on hearsay, flights of fantasies, bad pictures and computer enhanced imagery. And even at some point suggest space battles between aliens. Yep: star wars.
The documentary slowly progresses to its climax, after showing and telling the same thing over and over again and the climax is actually the low point, but an important one as the real truth gets exposed. Supposed pictures of a dead alien woman recovered by the otherwise unrecorded Apollo 20 mission are shown and then a 'researcher' tells us that even if it is a fake it is a clear sign that there is an attempt to misguide people, hence it is a sign of a cover up, hence it is a sign that something is there to be covered up.
And there you have it. The truth that gets exposed here is not that there are aliens on the moon or government conspiracies but the truth that facts do not matter: when facts stand in the way of truth then they get pushed aside, for it is the 'truth' that there are aliens busying themselves with humanity and it is the truth the government knows it and hides it.
It is this documentary that is the conspiracy. And the conspirators see themselves as heroes. But these heroes are fighting windmills. Don Quixotes. In the wikipedia about Don Quixote one can find a very apt quote from Harold Bloom about it, []preferring the glory of fantasy over the real world which includes imminent death[]
And that is what this documentary is. A fantasy, a flight of imagination, the exposure of the silliness of humanity and the sadness one can experience when people, like some astronauts, delude themselves merely because they want to believe something. It is a tragedy and a comedy. It is life.
