mind traveler:
THE PSYCHIC QUEST OF Dr. ANDRIJA PUHARICH

1 hr., 20 min

On the verge of losing everything over his obsession with proving the supernatural is real, brilliant, mysterious parapsychologist Dr. Andrija Puharich accepts an offer from the CIA to prove his theory that children can be the greatest psychics in the world. It’s the height of the cold war, and the 1960’s counterculture movement, a time dripping with hope, vibrant color and a reworking of reality.

Dr. Andrija Puharich seeks out an ecentric group of kids from around the world, near death and UFO experiencers, channelers, all with genius minds. In his lab, the teens quickly prove their psychic potential, and the group becomes known as the “Space Kids”. These Space Kids traverse space and time with each new trip, their every move studied at a secretive lab whose very walls amplify their natural psychic powers, turning them into psychedelic, superhuman spies. From a remote viewing inside the Great Pyramid at Giza to encounters with UFOs and extraterrestrial communication, the Space Kids prove the only limit to their powers is their ability to imagine.

After they thwart a well-documented assassination attempt on Henry Kissinger and an IRA terror attack in Ireland, Dr. Puharich becomes increasingly paranoid. The kids have become a little too good and too public for the CIA’s comfort. The kids begin to realize they’re being followed, their phones are tapped and Dr. Puharich’s life is threatened. Dr. Puharich makes a play to release his findings to the world, but his lab is burnt to the ground. The space kids narrowly escape with their lives. As details of the lengths Dr. Puharich and the CIA went to amplify the Space Kids abilities emerge, the team is broken apart and Dr. Puharich is forced into hiding.

Years later, he returns to bring the team back together, to finally reveal his findings and make amends, only to learn he has so profoundly affected the Space Kids’ lives, they’re no longer the same people.

In 1995, a mysterious accident finally takes the life of the prolific and misunderstood Dr. Puharich. His vast archives of psychic proof are left on a dump heap. Yet his work is rescued by chance and only now can be presented to the world in this new fascinating movie.
