War(s) of the Worlds : America and the Other

Alien invasion stories have been with us for a long time. The details change, but the core remains relevant. From the numerous remakes of War of the Worlds to more recent series like Colony or Falling Skies, the stories we tell about outside attackers can tell us a lot about ourselves.

This is part of an ongoing examination of these stories and more focused videos on several of the films and series mentioned here are on the way. And of course some that were not mentioned, for example Earth : Final Conflict.
