Zusammenfassung:	Zryd discusses Craig Baldwin's "Tribulation 99: Alien Anomalies Under America" (1992), a complex found footage film. The author argues that rather than representing history, the movie analyzes the historical discourses and political forces that motivate historical events. He states that it is a "committed leftist satire directed at American foreign policy and media culture" and shows how found footage can offer metahistorical analysis and complex political critique.
