French journalist Stéphane Allix's 2004 documentary about alien encounters features several experiencers who had worked with Dr John Mack, the noted Harvard psychiatrist. Mack appears only briefly in this film, his death having occurred soon after production began. More substantial are visits to the New England countryside with experiencers, including one couple who videotaped an unidentified flying object hovering above a lake a few hours before they were abducted from their lakeside cottage. Also in this film is New York artist and alien encounter investigator Budd Hopkins. Although similar to other documentaries, it has a more leisurely pace and gives more time for the experiencers to explain themselves. One of the best interviews in the program is not with an experiencer at all, but rather with the husband of an experiencer, who matter-of-factly explains how his family has come to terms with his wife's experiences.
Experiencers was produced in French and English versions; the French version was titled Enlevés. Excerpts have appeared in more recent French-language productions by Stéphane Allix, but this original English production has remained unavailable.
