The People

1972 NR 1h 14m 5.9

A teacher takes a job in a small remote community and finds the inhabitants to be strange with unsettling rules imposed on even her young students. On learning more about the people she finds that things are not at all what they seemed.

SPOILER ALERT. A young woman is assigned to teach school in a secluded valley whose inhabitants appear stern, secretive and anti-pleasure. Following two children who disappear to play in the woods, she finds that this is actually a community of extraterrestrials with mild paranormal powers who are attempting to repress and deny their heritage for fear of arousing prejudice and hatred in their human neighbors.
