Touches You

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Fascinating subject and great cinematography, etc. However, it didn't present the sound arguments as clearly as the 411 book series did. What I have garnered from reading 2 of the Western 411 books, there is a shocking pattern of disappearances not only of innocent children, but also of adults. There is a scary mystery about the missing kids in that they often disappear while in close distance to their parents, and then if and when they are found they are shockingly far from where they were lost. No lost toddler is going to climb uphill through terrain - they're going to walk downhill or nearby where they are lost. Should be a slam dunk to find them. But nope. The 411 kids are found (if at all) horrifying distances from where any sane person would expect a lost tot to wander. Add to that, certain National Parks that are actual focal points of lots of kids (and adults) disappearing in the region, through the years, over and over again. WTF? The only point I think that was clearly made is that either the U.S. Dept of the Interior doesn't give a rat's tush enough to keep records or they just want to ignore the missing, rather than admit there is something rotten in Yosemite, Crater Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park, etc. THAT attitude from an organization most people think of as kind and helpful is unsettling. I don't think the movie really made all of the other similarities in the cases as clear - or even as frightening - as did the books. Also, the move ignored (one horror at a time, thank you very much) didn't cover missing adults at all. I'm hoping this was only the first movie to be made and the following movie(s) will lay out the overall patterns that initially blew Paulides' mind enough to cause him to write the 411 series. Please Paulides, a second movie, in which you lay out your frightening cases and the quirky/scary stuff that links them together. Use graphs, ven diagrams and numbers and whatever - we can take it. And keep in mind that while the kiddie cases are cause for immediate sympathy, the disappearance of able bodied adults that KNOW what the hell they are doing in the wilderness is far scarier than a wandering 2 year old innocent. Thank you for the efforts. I'd crowd fund your movie efforts again in a hot minute.

Very important documentary. Brings some critical unexplored information to the mainstream. Read these Missing 411 books before having the chance to see the documentary, and strongly recommend the books as well. Something very strange has been taking place in our North American national parks and has not got the proper attention deserved to solve the mysterious disappearances taking place. Was very happy with the overall out line and presentation of this film and found it to be very well researched. Have spent some time following up on some of the documented cases and must say we sure have quite a mystery of sorts to further explore. I really felt that David Paulides is someone who really generally cares to help find out this mystery and help those involved and most certainly has played a great true honest detective in his peruse of answers. Further more for the mystery buff this would be a great documentary to check out. There are many as well who believe that the Legend of Bigfoot could be associated with some of these missing folks. And there is much new evidence that suggests that we have something going on that needs more research and further documentation. Super great Documentary. I'm a tough critic as i watch many of these so cheers, enjoy and explore the realms of the unknown...... This Documentary will sure fit the bill :)

This is an excellent documentary that gives an important insight into types of disappearances that have been happening across the States, Canada and further afield. Considering the budget available and the fact that this is a first venture into making something like this, it is a fine documentary, carefully considered, extremely moving and well produced, with the families and the missing at the very heart of their motivations.As someone that has read five of the author's six Missing 411 books and therefore very familiar with the numbers of eerily similar disappearances in national parks in particular, this documentary is a brilliant piece of work that will give an insight into these cases. I am sure once you watch this you will be left wanting to find out more about his work and the huge number of cases he has found, and the commonalities/profile points they share. More people need to be aware of the numbers of missing people out there, numbers that the national parks and government don't seem to want people to know about.

Heartbreaking and thought provoking. Way more than just a documentary. To lose a child is unimaginable and heart wrenching but for a family to lose a child under unexplained circumstances, there is no acceptance or peace. Help these families to find the truth, watch and refer to others.
