ReMastered: The Miami Showband Massacre

If people still wont believe that secret part's of government agencies in the western world (MI5/CIA), won't kill the innocent to push agenda's on the public, this may change their minds!

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

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 ...

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.

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.
