In this episode of Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda Mitchell sits down with filmmaker and investigative producer Dan Farah to explore some of the most provocative questions of our time: have governments hidden evidence of non-human intelligence for decades, and what does a global disclosure look like? Dan has interviewed senators, intelligence chiefs, fighter pilots, Pentagon insiders, and other high level sources — and the patterns they describe are consistent: we are not alone, and the truth about that has been withheld for more than 80 years.

Dan's documentary The Age of Disclosure is currently the #1 documentary on Amazon Prime Video and claims to uncover an unprecedented, long-hidden narrative involving bipartisan testimony from 34 government, military, and intelligence figures. The film goes beyond speculation, exploring allegations of classified programs, advanced non-human technology, and a secret cold war among world powers to reverse-engineer exotic capabilities.

In this conversation, Dan and Linda tackle the questions people are afraid to ask: what happens when a project like this stops feeling like a documentary and starts feeling dangerous, why sources are speaking out now, and whether the public is being protected or manipulated by secrecy. They examine the nature of power and control, what it would mean for society if disclosure happened tomorrow, and whether this is a slow preparation or an imminent revelation.

This episode is a deep dive into history, secrecy, psychology, and the narratives that shape what we accept as "known." If you're curious about the intersection of policy, technology, and what may lie beyond conventional explanation, this conversation will stretch your thinking and invite you to consider perspectives far beyond the everyday.

What We Talk About in This Episode:

How the project transitioned from a documentary into something potentially "dangerous"
Whether Dan was ever warned or discouraged from making the film
Why insiders from across the political spectrum are now willing to speak publicly
How the topic relates to aliens, intelligence, and global power structures
What discovery of non-human intelligence might mean for society
Whether governments are protecting or manipulating public awareness
The claims in the film that may be hardest for the public to accept
If gradual disclosure is a strategy or if a tipping point is near
