“What happens when you experience something so extraordinary that nobody believes you?” In 1994, over sixty schoolchildren witnessed an unidentified craft land outside their schoolyard. Nearly thirty years later, this incident is still fresh in students’ memories. They continue to search for answers - and the courage to speak their truth. In this first feature documentary about the Ariel School UFO incident, a young woman returns to her school in rural Zimbabwe - the place that, at the age of nine, shattered her reality. We meet a respected BBC war reporter who reluctantly covered the event, ultimately leading him to risk his career on the one story that haunted him the most. Jeopardizing his reputation is Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard psychiatrist Dr. John Mack, whose validation of the witnesses made this mass-sighting impossible to ignore. Released to rave reviews and scoring 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, Ariel Phenomenon's theatrical premiere in major cities will be accompanied by a post-screening discussion with the filmmaker and various experts in each city.
