Soundtrack Of Ariel Phenomenon Set For Release, Debuting On All Platforms Today Via The Orchard

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, September 15, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — String Theory Films, LLC, is pleased to announce the release of the soundtrack to Ariel Phenomenon, a groundbreaking documentary from filmmaker Randall Nickerson. The soundtrack and the first single, “Meaningful and Inexplicable,” are available today on all digital platforms via The Orchard, a global distribution company and member of Sony Music Entertainment.

The poignant cinematic soundtrack, by Nathaniel Walcott (Fault in Our Stars; member, Bright Eyes), Henrik Astrom (Vikings series), Galen Huckins of Blue Dot Sessions, and director Randall Nickerson, breathes life into Ariel Phenomenon, the first to thoroughly document the account of over sixty schoolchildren at Ariel School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, who, in 1994, witnessed an unidentified craft land outside their rural African schoolyard.

Ariel Phenomenon may be about an extraordinary incident at a school in a distant land, but it is much deeper and arguably more profoundly human: how does such an event impact witnesses, their families, the investigators, and their jobs, not just in the moment but for the rest of their lives?

“The soundtrack of Ariel Phenomenon is integral to the documentary, blending the cinematography with the human experience portrayed on film,” said Ariel Phenomenon director Randall Nickerson. “Everywhere I go, I hear from audiences who love the movie and cherish the soundtrack. I am thrilled fans will be able to enjoy the soundtrack with this well-deserved release, and I am thankful The Orchard has agreed to distribute the soundtrack.”

For the eyewitness students, investigators, and those around them, what began as an investigation into the extraordinary 1994 incident transforms into something equally as remarkable: a genuinely human story that explores what happens when you experience something so extraordinary that nobody believes you.

With a sensitive and non-sensational approach to the subject, the film highlights the journey of an Ariel School student present at the time of the event as she travels from her home in Toronto, Canada, back to Zimbabwe in search of answers – and the courage to speak the truth.

Along the way, the audience meets Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard psychiatrist Dr. John Mack and respected BBC war correspondent Tim Leach, both forever changed by their investigations and experiences.
