Episode Synopsis

Contact (1997) is a science fiction film directed by Robert Zemeckis, based on the novel by Carl Sagan. The story follows Dr. Ellie Arroway, a determined astronomer played by Jodie Foster, who discovers a signal from an extraterrestrial intelligence. As she works to decode the message and navigate political, scientific, and personal obstacles, Ellie embarks on a profound journey that challenges her beliefs about science, faith, and humanity’s place in the universe. The film blends emotional depth with cosmic wonder, exploring themes of connection and discovery.
What if we received contact from somewhere in he universe. Would it strike fear inside of you or wonder. Would it force us to ask questions like, who are we, what is the meaning of life, what happens to us when we die, are we alone in the universe and aren’t these religions questions. 
The question  I believe the movie poses is, is there something in your life that you can not touch, taste, see, hear or smell and still believe wholeheartedly. Something as simple as love. 
I hope you enjoy.
