SERIES

Every series takes one big science fiction idea and follows it through the decades, two films at a time. Eight so far. Start anywhere.

WE COME IN PEACE

The history of the friendly alien on screen. Not the one that bursts out of a chest, the one that turns up with a message and hopes we are grown up enough to hear it.
