nileafilms Review of Blind Flight

Blind Flight (2003)

Blind flight is an informative little movie not reaching the masses.

[9/10 · 31 October 2004]

I saw this film recently in my local art cinema, Duke of Yorks in Brighton. I was extremely lucky to have the opportunity to have a talk back session with the film maker John and John McCarthy himself. I was genuinely moved by his response to how little hatred he felt for his captors, and was greatly saddened that the larger commercial cinemas (and America) would not take this informative little movie on. Which has so much relevance within it's context today, as it did when it happened in the 80s. I would recommend this documentary (ish) style film to anyone of any age, as I gives a clearer insight to a hostage situation that seems to be repeating itself 20 years on.
