1. Yes, I DO recommend people see this documentary! 2. It deserves high marks for attempting what no others ever have before. 3. The camera work is truly stellar. 4. I'm going to be painfully honest about why it really missed it's mark.

In all fairness, it does great justice to the Deorr Kunz case, and it's a good vehicle to fully feel and understand the powerful sense of loss that Jaryd Atadero has had to cope with all these years. What might be the issue here for a lot of people(Me included) is that it tries too hard to emphasize those 2 cases ALONE(especially Deorr's) at the expense of other, extremely important cases that are not only similar, but also as poignant. I believe I understand the 'style' of documentary that Michael and Ben were trying to put together here, but it simply falls a bit flat throughout, and tends to also ramble in places where it should be moving on to other cases rather than backtracking with the same depth and heartfelt emotion. I also do NOT think adding voice-overs from C2C shows brought anything worthwhile of relevance to this project. Going back over and over and returning to a subject that has seemingly been covered already is also distracting and often frustrating to watch. Personally, I believe documentaries that do that tend to lose people's interest quickly because it takes you back rather than moving you progressively forward.

Nonetheless, it's important enough that people should take the time to see it. And I DO hope the next one, assuming there will be one, will hit people in the gut like Paulides' interviews often do. Bullet-point facts back-to-back, less mellow-drama and over-emphasis than we saw here,and a lot more emphasis on the MYSTERY, the boulder fields, the extreme similarities of cases, the possible paranormal aspects(as in the kid who refused to poop for his robot grandma), the international cases, and Mr. David Paulides himself in front of the camera speaking to us directly occasionally.

That would REALLY do it for me...

A very well produced movie, the cinematography wonderfully presented and the subject matter gripping. Being a long follower of the missing 411 work, I was excited to see the product of all the research and strange circumstances surrounding individuals who inexplicably vanished. The film introduces the phenomena well and sets up a documentary which you immediately can not turn away from. I looked forward to the interviews shown in the trailer but found these did not make the final cut, a little disappointing considering Paulides and George Knapp have so much to say on the subject. The film pivots around one single case which to be fair is very interesting, if not a little shady. Some would comment a huge amount of suspicion around the case which for me personally left me wanting the film to move on from this and present other cases mentioned in the books those being the main profile that make David's work so compelling: K9 scents, folded clothes, missing shoes, change of weather, the impossibility of locations, boulder fields the list goes on. The film touches on this ever so briefly but I feel nothing presented in this documentary is a classic missing 411 event. However it is a very interesting film and I hope the start of a running set of films which will open up the whole Missing 411 enigma. Well done to everybody involved and continue this fantastic research. A brilliant effort.

To date I've listened to all the Coast to Coast radio interviews and as many other interviews with David Paulides as possible. I wanted to see the doc so badly after hearing him answer questions, appear on Youtube, but I was somewhat disappointed.

This book series lends itself more to a whole Missing 411 series on Netflix or Hulu rather than a single doc. There are so many interesting cases, and David has a knack of walking you through the facts without inserting interpretation.

One of the lasting outcomes of his work will be a national database and the accountability of the National Park Service, an organization I fully admire. This doc does not reveal the level of obfuscation that they have put forth, leading to wild speculation.

The mystery of missing people alone is worth watching this but it doesn't do the book series justice. Perhaps no single doc could. So, maybe we'll see a series in the future.

Documentary about children who go missing in national parklands. It's intriguing and heartbreaking. For some reason this director seems to believe in every crypto possibility there is. The flick is fashioned to point to an ET or crypto type answer to all of the mysteries surrounding these deaths. So sad but not believable.

So, from the moment I found out about the work David Paulides was doing with his books in "The Missing 411" series, my eyes were opened to an extremely bizarre and troubling phenomenon. People have been going missing in clusters around the country with mysterious circumstances and a large percentage are in national parks, and the parks system doesn't keep (or at least release) database information about these people??? This is what I believe is the true focus of this film and all of the books... to warn people of the potential danger that clearly exists but is being downplayed. We're not imagining these people missing... the information Paulides presents in the books and movies is from actual newspaper articles, police reports and witness testimony. so to give this film a bad rating because of completely unrelated situations, opinions, and unsubstantiated claims is to completely miss the point and do a disservice to the true purpose of the movie and books. Sure, we all were hoping for a ton of the thought provoking case profiles in the books to be presented, but that just logically could not happen in a 1.5 to 2 hour long film. If we really care about the people who have gone missing and their families and anyone who will potentially go missing in the future, we need to get over ourselves and help promote this movie so attention will be drawn where attention is severely needed. My heart goes out to the families that have suffered through the unthinkable, and I hope this movie and the other work Paulides is doing will honor them by bringing that much needed attention. I too selfishly wanted more, but maybe positively promoting this film will get me more sequels to satisfy my selfishness (and subsequently bring even more attention to the lost!)

God bless.

These films are at the out set quite intriguing simply by the seemingly very large numbers of persons disappeared in wilderness areas. However the cherry picking of cases and often just not stating the most probable causes of disappearances panders to uncritical minds. For example the man who was said to shed his pants folded as if he melted. But, that disregards hypothermal and dehydration do cause people to become delirious and shed clothing in frigid conditions. Numerous cases from Artic deaths show this. There also was a man who as a child managed to walk 20 plus miles and was lucky to find help. He said he experienced nothing supernatural. So we know small children can do things we might not expect. That would include walking away from adults. But frankly these cases do not explore the mundane or criminal sides of the vanishings. But, its worth while to speculate, but I am sure by now this has made its promoters very wealthy.

I have followed David Paulides for a few years now and although this film was not what I expected I still have to applaud the excellent cinematography and work which has went into this production. Yes the main thread may provoke controversy but after watching the film again I have a different view on this. I felt that the Deorr case, for me anyway, demonstrated the difference between a 411 case and a homicide case. This may well not have been the intention but it was what I took from the film. This film is extremely important in that people MUST be made aware of what is going on out there, not just in America, but all over the world. Some people only care about themselves and that is their prerogative, however if you care about others and want to know what is happening then this work has to be supported. The film is a welcome break from all the usual CGI rubbish and I for one will watch it again and urge others to find out more about this subject.

This documentary was supposed to be about strange and unexplained disappearances. Instead we got one family's quite sketchy account of what happened to their son. A few other unrelated cases were thrown in haphazardly. It was extremely disappointing as I watched it with a room full of people who shrugged and said "Kids wander off it happens." There was no details (berries, extreme weather, German heritage, dogs behaving strangely) that makes Missing 411 so intriguing.

On another note the makers of this film are rude and unprofessional. I have observed them been extremely rude to people asking genuine questions about run time, compatibility with DVD's, and shipping etc.

The worst part is they are removing and blocking anyone who doesn't leave a positive review of the movie!!!

I've read books and listened to many interviews. This movie has captured the raw emotion of the families effected by these strange disappearances and offered so much more with the interviews of people involved. Having such a well-respected wilderness expert explain things as he did really drive it home. There's nothing more precious than a child and I hope this movie helps to make people aware of how quickly a child can disappear. Great movie!

Top notch film that for 90 min gives you a hard, insightful look at just a handful of the thousands of mysterious disappearances you can read about in the 6 mind-blowing Missing 411 books. The vast majority of which happen in our national parks, forests and monuments. Shot in 4k, the footage of the areas of each incident is breathtakingly gorgeous, with a defined undertone of mystery and bewilderment. If you are interested in the unexplained, look no further. The circumstances, once you understand them, can only be summed up as impossible. Les Stroud appears in the film to further reinforce that notion, as he attempts to duplicate the baffling, unlikely journey presented in one of the cases. The case of Jaryd Atadero and the interview with his father, Allyn, I found to be most gripping. As Allyn Atadero relives that fateful day, you can feel the desperation and eventual hopelessness he surely felt, with no reasonable answer for what happened or why.. If your mind isn't racing through the entirety of this feature, you aren't paying close enough attention. You can rest assured this has, since day 1, been a project filled with COMPASSION for the families of the lost, sincere sympathy when the missing are sometimes found deceased, and eagerness to come up with an answer to explain the perplexing circumstances. This is an attempt to bring fresh eyes and a wider audience to the facts surrounding the cases that are happening worldwide to this day, to educate and inform those who enjoy the outdoors. It is not meant to discourage from enjoying nature, but to raise awareness that things can happen in the blink of an eye, and sometimes you just don't get a second chance to take the appropriate precautions.

I'm familiar with and not a fan of the books and based on that, I thought this would be terrible. I was intrigued by the cases shown in this documentary because of the human element and the impact it has on people involved in the search and families. I also enjoyed the film touching on the hindrance of social media to grieving families. It's enough to say that exploring nature can be dangerous and disorientating especially for a small child. Experienced hikers, mountaineers, hunters and guides are also among those who go missing each year and rather than add to the mystery of it all, I felt that just says more about our fragility as human beings and our ability to make mistakes, especially when exposed to the elements.

I've been waiting for a long time to watch this movie and I am not disappointed. David and Ben Paulides did a great job raising awareness to the unexplained cases of missing people, not only in the USA and Canada where their organization operates but also all around the world where many similar unsolved incidents occur. Just one example of Jaryd Atadero, correlated with David Paulides's sharp and insightful conclusions on the strange similarities of circumstances and whereabouts of all the cases is enough to make the the spectator curious, puzzled and hungry for more knowledge.-

David Paulides's commitment to this grave issue is more than obvious. I would consider Missing 411 a must-watch for everybody who feels for the families still waiting for their loved ones to be found as well as all the thrill- and- adventure seekers who get a chance to be forewarned before their hikes. Also for everybody who call themselves keen and watchful observers of reality.

Wish I could get my money back. Nothing like what I heard on the Coast to Coast show. Those kids in the documentary could have gone missing under many different circumstances, not as a big mystery presented on Coast to Coast. David Paludes talked more about adults who were "missing" when he was on Coast to Coast. Only one adult presented in the movie, and he had no recollection regarding what happened. Very disappointing

Missing 411: The Movie I was one of the early backers to support the funding of David Paulides film based on the Missing 411 book series, and I can say after watching it that my expectations were exceeded. It's beautifully filmed, and has a high production value and polish which surprised me, because they did not have the resources or budget that a film of this magnitude would normally warrant. It's evident that they worked very hard on this, and every dollar that was contributed is up there on the screen. Congratulations to David and Ben Paulides, and director Michael DeGrazier, and all those who participated, for making a film with integrity and heart. It must have been incredibly difficult to decide what cases to feature in the film, but the profiles of the missing children will haunt you. I have a terrifying early memory about being lost in the woods once as a small child, which happened the Uintas in Utah, and I can state from experience how fast it happens and it's like being in a hall of mirrors where you cannot discern what direction you're going in once your off the path. I was lucky enough that I found my way back to family. The film expands the scope of the material in the book series in that it's able to visually show you the locations where these disappearances took place, and includes re-enactments and interviews with family members and search-and-rescue volunteers, and convincingly demonstrates with the help of Les Stroud the baffling trajectories and difficulty of the terrain some of the victims (small children) were presumed to have taken from the point where they vanished and were last seen, to the point where they were found later. I think the film is a must-have for everyone who has followed the book series, and should be seen by every parent thinking of visiting a National Park (or anywhere outdoors) with their family. I hope this isn't a stand-alone film but the beginning of a series that can be expanded on in the future.

I have read most of the books that Dave has written on this subject. I was really looking forward to this movie. I do know his son was mostly involved in making this movie. A limited budget and first attempt at making a movie need to be taken into account. That being said, I feel it was an opportunity to present lots of material from the books. There was simply just not enough here. Presenting more cases would be more desirable. Opportunity wasted.

Love the topic and it is baffling that it seems that there is no interest by authorities keep em comin love the books too!!

Do people really think it's that amazing that someone goes missing in the woods?

So you're 80 + years old and you go into the woods, and never come out, and it's supposed to be some supernatural event because nobody ever found a trace of you? Lol

"Oh I was there and I heard a very odd noise in the woods shortly before the disappearance" - this is beyond ridiculous, go outside for a bit, you'll hear a lot of odd noises, things you've never heard before.

"Oh he went missing but he had a gun and other weapons and they were never recovered" yeah no kidding because the guy is dead somewhere and he still has things with him, there's no foul play.

A canine or human search even if it's 1000 people has a very low probability of finding anything in these large search areas.

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 :)

Total clickbait, no real substance to the documentary and most evidence are interviews of local small townsmen that appear eager to be on a film. Had low expectations going in due to the film's conspiracy theme, but was surprised to be let down by being shown 1.2 hours of superficial interviews on missing people's case. You're better off reading a stephen king novel than watching this waste of 1.5 hrs of total bs. Good editing though.

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.
