Over sixty schoolchildren witnessed an unidentified craft land outside their schoolyard. Over twenty-five years later, this incident is still fresh in their memories. They continue to search for answers - and the courage to speak the truth.
In this first feature doc about the Ariel School UFO incident, a young woman returns to her school in rural Zimbabwe - the place that shattered her reality.
Harvard psychiatrist Dr. John Mack's validation of the witnesses made this mass-sighting impossible to ignore.
Now-adult students struggle with the question they've asked for decades: “What happens when you experience something so extraordinary that nobody believes you?”
