A former foreign advisor turned citizen-journalist travels to his mother's homeland of Ukraine only to discover that communism doesn't work and the main stream media is fake news.

Entertainment > Movies >

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1281966/

A stitched-together movie of faux-epic military drama, stock footage, and B-roll.

This must have taken a hell of a lot of effort to put together, but my god it's so badly written.

  • Trailer

Alien refugees come to Earth, only to become squatters and criminals while the world looks on. After 20 years, the local government tries to relocate them to better facilities only to discover alien technologies they had been salvaging and repairing.

A unique setting and good story. It's not a super-fantastic movie, but it's definitely highly recommended. It has a high "ick" factor.
