Touched (DVD) featuring Dr. John Mack “Touched offers a uniquely contemplative perspective on the alien abduction phenomenon [and] presents the 'experiencers' and their stories with sensitivity and without judgement.” —Boston's Weekly Dig Touched, the award-winning documentary film by Laurel Chiten, focuses on Dr. John Mack, experiencers from Dr. Mack's books about alien contact, and Harvard's Dr. Arnold Relman. Touched also presents comments from British mythologian Patrick Harpur, former Vatican demonologist Monsignor Corrado Balducci, Brazilian clinical psychologist Gilda Moura, Radcliff Fellow and social critic Wendy Kaminer, and Harvard Professor of Law Alan M. Dershowitz. Touched won Best Documentary at the Female Eye Film Festival (FeFF) in Toronto, and Best Documentary at the annual International UFO Congress in Laughlin, Nevada. Touched has been shown by teachers at many fine institutions including Harvard and Stanford. The DVD contains deleted scenes and two "easter eggs" hidden in the bios pages (click on unusual items of clothing, such as the Monsignor's collar).
