One thing I do like about the JJ Abrams ufo doc is it totally focuses on women who are involved, mostly journalists, without advertising that or even referencing it.
There's a marked difference between what the sausage-fest that we're all used to seeing focuses on, and what the women focus on.
The usual players are all male, and they focus on the technology, the proximity to military installations, (war and tech), and the women focus on the people, and how it effects us culturally, and what the significant aspects of the phenomenon are that would be important to us emotionally, if proven to be of alien origin.
So that human element yields a far more nuanced and compelling narrative, or at the very least it's different than what has become the norm.
Admittedly, I might be bringing some of this to the table in my own head, and giving the doc a bit too much cred.
