The movie tells the story of some of the 270 victims, their families and survivors of New York-bound Pan Am Flight 103 after a terrorist bomb planted by Libya destroyed the aircraft 38 minutes after takeoff from London’s Heathrow Airport.
Among those from Fairfield County: Shannon Davis, 19, from Shelton; Thomas Britton Schultz, 20, from Ridgefield; and Amy Elizabeth Shapiro, 21, from Stamford.
"Because of the flight path of Flight 103, there are so many families from Connecticut, New Jersey and New York that were affected by this tragedy," said Furey. "It means a lot to be able to bring this film to this region."
The story follow three families -- bound together by tragedy when a bomb ripped the jumbo jet into pieces over Lockerbie, Scotland, in December 1988 -- and the traumatic injustices they faced after their losses.
From the early days when an unprepared U.S. government left the relatives to fend for themselves to more recent history when the only man convicted of the crime was set free in a backdoor oil deal with Libya’s dictator, Muammar Gaddafi, the families refused to go down without a fight, harnessing the power of the media in their war for truth and justice.
Several of the Flight 103 families will be present at the screening of the documentary along with the director.
