| Summary |
The world thought it knew Elián González’s story: The 5-year-old boy who washed up on the Florida coast after a deadly crossing from Cuba who became the center of an extraordinary, never-before-experienced media firestorm and international custody battle, pitting family members against each other and testing political policy at a crucial moment in history.. The CNN documentary ELIÁN shows how this incredible story is interwoven into the current political climate – and shows, for the first time, Elián González today speaking in a never-before-seen unfiltered way about his experiences.. Narrated by Tony Award nominee Raúl Esparza, executive produced by Academy Award winner Alex Gibney and produced by award-winning filmmaker Trevor Birney, codirected by Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times journalist Tim Golden and award-winning photographer Ross McDonnell, ELIÁN weaves together new interviews with Elián and his relatives in Miami.. Official Selection at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival, Winner of the Junior Jury Award at the Montclair Film Festival. "Another 1990s media spectacle gets a long-overdue autopsy in this slick and riveting documentary." - Chris Barsanti, Film Journal International. "A vital and spellbinding documentary that dissects a fascinating moment in American history." - Mike McGranaghan, Aisle Seat |
