The Bournemouth Incident

2011, 15 minutes

Aliens have landed and integrated in Bournemouth society - but scarily can't remember how they arrived, or where from !

History has marked Bournemouth (a sea-side town on England's south coast) as the site of alien landings. The aliens can remember nothing of the own planet, ancestry or their voyage here. Not everyone is happy with them living here, and their sole redeeming feature seems to be their amazing art. Is social anthropologist Dr McGrath right to be alarmed at their lack of self-knowledge? Does Bournemouth MP Fiona Winterbottom speak for the country, indeed the world, on how we need to help all those who need help? As their images get darker and more revealing should we be more wary of them?
