AND AGAIN (56 MIN, 2010) explores a New Mexico ghost-town turned simulated-town, where local people are hired to play the parts of terrorists and victims in government-funded simulation training exercises.  This interventionist documentary juxtaposes the training exercises with a theater workshop in which the local community acts out the stores of thier town.
