I agree, excellent movie. I remember when it happened and was mortified that the US would do nothing. Wrote letters, called the PTB, to no avail. There was nothing to be gained politically so no one cared much. There were a couple celebrities as I recall, but can't remember which ones as I really don't pay much attention to them, that tried to make some noise about it, but ultimately the film shows a very good depiction of actual events and world response.
It was and it still remains a terrible shame for my view of this country, along with the nuclear bombing of the Japanese, the enslavement of Africans here and the genocide of the indigenous people of this country.
I've been paying attention a very long time and really do not like where this country has gone. I actually fear seeing where it is going, but keep watching anyway because I might miss something important.
This from a lifelong optimist!! I still see many good individuals and this gives me hope for the future though.
