film synopsis
After the death of his Air Force general father, muckraking Washington journalist Jeremy Rudd (Campbell Scott) returns to the Palm Desert house, once inhabited in winters by President Eisenhower, where his father had lived. Working on an explosive story involving breakthrough aerospace technology, his investigations take an otherworldly turn when his father's protégé shows him astonishing, long-buried footage purporting to document Ike's encounters with extraterrestrials. So begins the wild, unclassifiable new film by maverick independent writer/director Christopher Munch, which is part love story, part historical excavation, part speculative fiction, part political thriller, and whose cast of characters includes not just Ike, but Obama, the nation's first Secretary of Defense James Forrestal who died under mysterious circumstances in a Naval hospital, and an unearthly "visitor" named Lars. Leaping from present to past, from reality to fantasy, The 11th Green is a mind- and genre-stretching adventure that boldly challenges our notions of the real.
