I think the movie WAS called "The People". It starred William Shatner and Kim ( Miri from the Star Trek episode of the same name ) Darby. She was a new schoolteacher who noticed all the children in a rural community walked with a shuffle. She and Shatner, the town doc, discovered that they were told from infancy not to let both feet leave the ground at once. The reason is because they'll start flying, since they inherited assorted powers from the original settlers. I forget if the original ones had crashed, or fled to Earth for some reason. I think this was an ABC movie-of-the-week, about 1975. Steve -------
