ReMastered: The Miami Showband Massacre

The remastered series is overall speaing really enticing and interesting. It's just that they maybe should call the series "unsolved". Everything depicted or shown in these investigations is always interesting and to degree sometimes despicable or just plain unbelievable - and in this case you wonder how certain things could happen and others had not been questioned.

So having someone going in, shining a light on these things is really something noble. But apart from that the overall "short" running time also helps keep audiences interested in what happens or rather what happened. Documentaries are on the rise and the Remastered series is riding that wave smoothly ...

A doco that needed to be told, well done. The search to find the actual truth.

Great suspense. Although some facts regarding the English officer may have been updated. The truth hiding in secret files should have already been revealed. The cost to families affected and the money cost of seemingly pointless investigations is a true black mark on British governing bodies. #Bloodysunday

Documentary focusing on the 1975 murder of three members of the Miami showband by the UVF and British military at the Northern Ireland border. The documentary is mainly narrated by the two survivors of the band who were present at the bombing/shooting. The doc focusing on the event and uncovering who orchestrated the attach and why. With the contentious times between the uvf and ira in Northern Ireland; it appears that the event was intended to get government officials to close the border. The doc is well put together and provides insight into the killings, background on the surrounding conflict, and interviews with people in the militaries.

I grew up during the troubles, even had bomb attacks in more than one home town. At the time we were fed news stories that the IRA were monsters, and the British authorities were protecting us the best they could. Then Maggie Thatcher let the special forces run rampant with her blessing, murder and execution without trial became state sanctioned. Little did we know; It turns out that we'd already been at it for a decade before, patsy's and intelligence plots and plans were already in the armoury and being used to the max. Let's remember, MI6 trained the CIA in their early days. The shame and anger I feel is very real, my distrust of Labour and Tory leaders all the more amplified, after all, these are privileged politicians exacting plans on the powerless and innocent for some kind of political advantage. Ken Livingstone, an outside member of the ruling elite raised questions he was poo poo'd for, but was dead right. Steven Travers, the bass player and relentless pursuer of the truth has almost, finally, been vindicated and proven right. I really hope he has his day in court pointing a finger at the guilty. And I hope that he's joined by all of the discredited British intelligence operatives that spoke out because they knew it was crooked and wrong, submitting detailed reports that proved as much, but were ignored and then discredited by the British authorities. I am a British subject, and I feel nothing but guilt.
