Black Hawk Down
Documentary57 min
When Somali gunmen bring down an American Black Hawk helicopter over Mogadishu, a U.S. military operation turns into a rescue mission under fire. Mike Goodale and Shawn Nelson are among the film’s featured voices as it reconstructs the crash and the larger battle around it, following the attempt to reach stranded troops and the fight to survive in Somalia’s streets. Centered on the infamous helicopter downing linked to the Battle of Mogadishu, the documentary stays with the military stakes, the chaos on the ground, and the mission that unraveled.
