Alanna Robelia, who appears in the film as an experiencer, said, "“I am grateful to director John Yost for creating a safe place for all of us to tell our stories and his willingness to be vulnerable by telling us about his own abduction experience. I never would have imagined that what I thought was a memory of a childhood dream would lead me to the incredible experiences and relationships I have today.”[4]
