Product Description
Shoot Down takes the audience through one of the most appalling international incidents that perfectly reflects the tumultuous relationship between Cuba and the United States. Winner of the 2007 Sonoma Valley Film Festival Award for Best Documentary, Shoot Down revisits the 1996 Cuban downing of two US civilian planes, piloted by Miami-based group Brothers to the Rescue (BTTR), which resulted in the deaths of four men. The film chronicles the perfect storm of events that led to that fateful day: In the early 90's Cuba was facing a steep economic decline after the pullout of the Soviet Union. Cuban Rafters, fleeing desperate conditions on the Island, were dying by the thousands in an attempt to reach the US. The European Union was recognizing the growing internal dissidence base in Cuba that, for the first time since the revolution of 1959, was effectively and publicly challenging the Castro government. Pressure was mounting and the boiling point came at the end of Clinton's first term in office. BTTR had gained political influence and respect on both sides of the Florida Straits with its many rescue missions of Cuban rafters. The group flew near Cuba to spot the fleeing rafters and, at least once, flew over Havana. This was the pretext the Cuban Government needed to act -- in the air against the US-registered planes and on the Island against the dissidents. In a stirring reenactment of the shoot down, the film replays the actual radio transmissions of the pilots in their final moments and the elation of the Cuban MiG pilots who fired the missiles. Special features include: Spanish & English language versions; a 12 min. unedited audio recording of Raul Castro commenting on the incident; the unedited voice recordings (1 hr., 30 min.) between the Cuban MiG's and Cuban Military Control -- intercepted by US intelligence surveillance; a 30 min. cockpit voice recording of the lead BTTR Cessna, which includes conversations between this plane and the two shot down.
