Chowchilla Storyline

CNN Films and Max explores the strangest mass kidnapping in history in Chowchilla, California. Featuring exclusive interviews with the survivors, director Paul Solet goes behind the headlines to reveal for the first time the complete saga of the infamous school bus abduction. On July 15, 1976, three masked men boarded a school bus in Chowchilla, California, kidnapped the driver and all 26 children aboard. They were then loaded onto soundproofed vans, driven to a remote quarry, and buried in an underground chamber. With little to eat or drink, air rapidly running out, and the roof buckling in, one of the children led a harrowing escape effort. The apprehension of the kidnappers and subsequent revelation of their identities only added to the shock of an event that would haunt those who survived it for decades as they struggled to regain all they had lost.

Fascinating Documentary

Maybe because I am Australian and I would have been a baby when it happened, I had never heard about the Chowchilla kidnapping incident. I was intrigued when I saw it advertised and decided to do some research and then watch the documentary.

It is well crafted, with insightful interviews with survivors. I really can’t imagine what it would have been like for the children involved, or their parents.

It was interesting to hear the different perspectives of the incident, which reveals that the bus driver is not the hero he was made out to be.

A documentary worth watching, it is gripping and interesting.
