Missing 411

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

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 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!

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.

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.
