ReMastered: The Miami Showband Massacre

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

Poignant documentary covering the senseless atrack on Ireland's top showband, recounted by surviving members. The loss of life for the murdered was one thing but the effect on the surviving was also tragic.

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 about one of the many tragic episodes during "the troubles "

Which includes some interesting allegations against the British government

I believe this came in at around 70 minutes in length. It feels sort of in-between a true documentary and something that VH1 would have put out back in the day. The jump to the massacre is very quick - - I actually would have liked to known more about the band itself. The concept of what an Irish showband was was foreign to me. The claim of them being the Irish Beatles (which I'm not sure if even the surviving members considered to be valid) really isn't established. For me it was on the 6/7 border in terms of rating - - nudged it to the higher of the two because of the humanity of Stephen Travers, which in many ways becomes what the documentary is truly about.
