    Beautiful, Moving and Mind-changing...

    This beautiful, hauntingly human movie pulls us in to a place of deep feeling.The texture, music, sights and sounds of "Witness of Another World" draw us into a state of attention and anticipation as the story unfolds of Juan Perez, an Argentinian gaucho, whose experience of a close encounter as a boy of 12 profoundly altered the course of his life.

    With great vulnerability and courage Juan Perez invites the filmmaker, Alan Stivelman - and us - into his life. In so doing he allows us a new insight into some unfamiliar aspects of the close encounter phenomenon.

    In my own research I have come to believe that the world's indigenous narratives hold ancestral memories which speak powerfully to the question of ET contact, human consciousness and our relationship with the universe. I have never seen a movie - documentary or fiction - that has illustrated these interweaving threads as powerfully as Alan Stivelman's movie.

    You will not think or feel the same about ET contact after you have seen "Witness to Another World." And whatever your views on the topics of UFOs, ETs and close encounters, watch this movie and I guarantee you will come away saying, "Thank you Juan Perez for your courage in making the journey you did. And thank you Alan Stivelman for your courage in bringing the story to us."

    The Best Documentary Film On This Subject

    I am not a film critic, in fact this is my first review here, although I regularly check out IMDB as I do watch a lot of movies. What has prompted me to write a review now is that I am a researcher of exceptional human experiences, which includes UFOs. And it is from that perspective that I can honestly say that this is by far the best film I have seen on this subject. I won't add any potential spoiler, but if you have any interest in UFOs, or mysteries this film is well worth watching.

    a journey through consciousness and mystery

    An interesting and well-filmed documentary about the UFO phenomenon in an Argentine province that tells in detail and sensitivity the extraterrestrial encounter of Juan Oscar Pérez, known by the ufological community for his several encounters with lights in the sky, UFOs and extraterrestrial beings.

    With Guarani heritage, Juan is an Argentinian gaucho who dedicates his life to hunting animals in fields, and because he does not have any explanation about these things that he lives, he decides an isolation live.

    The film takes an unexpected turn for the protagonist who, with the support of the film director, Alan Stilveman, and other professionals interested in his story, will discover the deep and complex spiritual mission that involves these encounters.

    Highly recommended✨👌🏾

    Director took a different approach

    This documentary was good, speaking in terms of just "documentaries." It was shot well with the intention of creating a human connection rather than an alien one. Most viewers that actually find this documentary, find it through the fascination of life beyond Earth. That is where this doc fails. The director chose to narrate the impact someone was enduring versus the actual event. If your into humans and how they cant cope seeing an alien craft...by all means watch this doc. If your actually into evidence and theory...watch Unacknowledged.

    Beautiful Portray of Life's Muli Dimensions

    I found this deeply touching and a beautiful glimpse into spiritual, inter and outter dimensional experiences of real people's inexplicable journeys into the unknown. Watch out Georgio this guy did an excellent heart wrenching documentary touching on UFOs and other dimensions. No artifacts were needed, merely pure human spirit. I watched not knowing what to expect and was moved to tears. The only thing I found were the subtitles (language translations) were hard to read due to the background being too light. Excellent and beautiful documentary!
