A speculative documentary that uses a hypothetical first contact scenario to examine humanity's place in the cosmos and our readiness for the unknown.

“This film documents an event that has never taken place…” With unprecedented access to the United Nations’ Office for Outer Space Affairs, leading space scientists and space agencies, The Visit explores humans’ first encounter with alien intelligent life and thereby humanity itself. “Our scenario begins with the arrival. Your arrival.”
