Battle of Mogadishu Doc Series 'Surviving Black Hawk Down' Trailer

"I was sure my family were dead." Netflix has unveiled a trailer for Surviving Black Hawk Down, a 3-episode docu series that will be streaming on Netflix starting in February. The doc is a "360-degree telling of the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu, whose events served as inspiration for Ridley Scott's Academy Award winning film Black Hawk Down." It has been 24 years since Black Hawk Down opened in theaters (back in 2001) and yet somehow now is apparently the right time to revisit it. I mean, it is a great action movie, but this all seems strange. Surviving Black Hawk Down tells the gripping real story of the horror and heroism behind the events – blending raw, immersive doc storytelling with first-person interviews from both sides of The Battle of Mogadishu. Makers RSA add "[we] are thrilled to bring this compelling story to a new audience with Netflix, almost 25 years after Ridley’s iconic movie.
