Surviving Black Hawk Down: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Documentary about the battle that inspired the book and film
Year: 2025
Certificate: 15
In October 1993, US soldiers on a mission in the Somali capital of Mogadishu find themselves under intense fire from heavily armed local militia. When one of the US Black Hawk helicopters flying in support is shot down, the American forces soon find that an operation to rescue the chopper's crew turns into an extended and bloody gun battle that rages across the city.
The Battle of Mogadishu inspired first a hit factual book and then a star-studded war movie directed by Ridley Scott. Now this intense three-part documentary takes a fresh look at events, with participants on both sides - both US and Somali, from the armed forces and the civilians caught up in the bloodshed - remembering their roles in the conflict, alongside video captured on the ground before, during and after the battle. (Three episodes)
