I had a vague memory of this incident. It was fascinating to see the newscasters of that time and the old footage. How little we understood about the impact of childhood trauma in 1976! This was a loving, compassionate, important documentary with excellent interviews of some of the survivors. How quickly the teachers, parents and even the children themselves expected everything to return to normal once they were found. Painful, at times, but enlightening, to watch how the event impacted not just the children, but the children's' families and their own future children. I am so glad to have seen this and highly recommend it. It will stay with me for a very long time.

This movie is incredibly attention grabbing for the first hour or so as it follows the story of the kidnapped, their escape, and the kidnappers' incarceration. The latter half of this documentary, however, is quite dull compared to its counterpart. It covers how the kidnappers received parole, the psychological impact on the kidnapped over the years, and the change in societal response since. As much as I can appreciate that CPTSD is a very real and very serious affliction, the way this film approaches it is a bit "off" to say the least. By the end I felt like this whole story was used as a way to advertise how far crisis responders have come in the last few decades instead of giving these victims the time of day that they deserve. Results may vary, that's just how I felt.

I'm old enough to remember the Chowchilla kidnapping and this fine documentary is a time machine back to those days. Others have told you about what happened, but I'm here to tell just how well made this motion picture is. The 'acting' in the reconstruction of the ordeal is so seamlessly Integrated into the footage from the 70s that it's easy to forget it wasn't filmed while it was actually happening. The blase inconsideration and incompetence of the kidnappers is breathtaking which makes the ending heartbreaking. Not easy to watch but very important in bringing childhood trauma in focus. Kudos to all involved in making this fine film.

Directed by Paul Solet. A runtime of one hour and thirty-eight minutes. Streaming on MAX. This is the documentary about the twenty-six children who were abducted in Chowchilla, California. You watched how these kids and their bus driver were stopped and kidnapped. To them being taken to this remote place and put in a makeshift tunnel. That ends with them being buried alive. But you'll learn that this was supposed to be a master plan, planned out by three well-off morons. You see this crazy tale: the chaos is caused and the fallout from it all. To the severe and not-so-severe repercussions. "Chowchilla" was a story I didn't know about. I asked my friend Pam about it because she's a little older than me. She vaguely remembered this story, even to this day. Back in the 1970s, this was a huge thing. Can you imagine sending your child on the bus to school, and when you go to pick them up, they aren't there? You have to remember that this is the 1970s; there weren't any cell phones or anything like that. If you wanted to get in contact with someone, you had to hunt them down. The fear those parents had to go through was immense. Then, when you listen to the interviews with the children who are now adults. You see how this event drastically changed their lives. Even to learn about the people who planned this. It's sickening. This whole documentary pissed me off. Everyone dropped the ball. So many people failed those kids. When you find out what happened to the kidnappers, they will just piss you off even more. To see the lack of care for mental health was gut-wrenching. I know mental health is more of a topic now, but still, you would think what happened would be taken more seriously. People don't realize that back in the day, the mentality was to put some dirt on it and keep it moving. They'll be fine. The documentary was okay. The topic was intriguing, but the way it was done could have been better. It wasn't the best documentary I've seen. Regardless, I still feel for all the victims. They were done wrong. I give it three more fires 🔥🔥🔥🔥. #CosmoandtheMovieWithin #CosmoMovieBlog #CosmoLanier #Chowchilla.

Some are asking where is the justice for the victims, well, here is the answer. This happened in California, a backwards state (that I grew up in), why do I say a backwards state? Because they believe in justice for the accused first, victim last. I hate to say that about any state, but the justice system is very wrong in California. They should have never ever released those boys. But California believes that a pen, paper and a sorry note are considered rehab. If it had happened in a state like Texas, those boys may have been on death row. I won't say thats the right approach, but certainly life without the possibility of parole is right.

Apparently, the word "documentary" has changed. No longer are film makers interested in telling true stories and digging through evidence, rumor, and bias. I think it's pretty feckless to have a group of paid survivors asked to speak poorly about a man who cannot defend himself. It's one thing to speak ill of the dead but another to tear apart his character probably because he was the only adult. Considering how the majority of those children went on to conduct their adult lives, maybe they shouldn't be the first to cast stones. What makes this style of filmmaking worse is that it relies on a handful on "memories" and "wintnesses" who were extremely young at the time. While it was nice to hear some different perspectives, the movie read more as a Mean Girls style "Burn Book" than a piece of thoughtfully crafted Non-Fiction. This includes the politically fraught and careless manner in which all three perpetrators tried and paroled. If you're a real documentary lover then skip this one.

I remember this kidnapping and then you see this movie and you are reliving it with the victims and then you find out the aftermath was just as horrific as the actual kidnapping. I applaud the filmmakers and the ability of the victims to assist in the making of this documentary. I can't even imagine what those children went through and then you realize that their trauma is going to affect them for the rest of their lives. So why does a kidnapper ever have the opportunity to be released from prison when they admit their guilt? The aftermath is what kept me glue to watching this film. I just cannot believe the kidnappers were able to even be allowed the opportunity for parole. What is wrong with our criminal justice system? This movie pointed out the problems with our criminal justice system. Where is the justice for the victims?
