The documentary features the horrific kidnapping tale in the words of the survivors themselves. The archival newspaper footage and pictures from the mass kidnapping add to the chilling true crime story with rare interview footage from the survivors who experienced the horrors firsthand.

In the 1:27 minute trailer, the innocent children are returning to their homes when their journey is cut short by kidnappers as they take them to an underground facility and bury everyone alive. The dramatization lets you feel the anxiety and adrenaline rush to race against time and try to escape the grasp of the unlikely criminals. The missing school bus alarmed society and sparked a media frenzy to cover the crimes and investigate the truth. One of the circumstantial evidence showcases a strange journal written in an encrypted language.

“It’s possibly the story of the century,” the narrator admits to the camera. With several talking heads, interviews, and archival footage, Chowchilla delves into the hidden truth and mysterious disappearance of children in the county.
