Shoot Down
The film recounts the events surrounding the downing of the unarmed civilian Brothers to the Rescue planes on February 24, 1996, by Cuban MiG fighters. The cinematography is high quality and the compelling story is brought to life through the actual words of those who lived through and were actively involved in the ordeal. The film sheds light on the political tug-of-war between the Brothers, our US government, and the Cuban regime. Shoot Down addresses the issue from the perspective of each of those groups. Of particular interest, especially in light of the current Presidential race, is the implied collusion between the Clinton administration and the Cuban government to stop the Brothers' activities. You will probably never see this film on English-language television because it does not fit with the current liberal attitude of the mainstream media. For this reason I highly recommend it.
