Here is a new trailer from the upcoming film “ELIAN.” The film is directed by Tim Golden and Ross McDonnell.
Gravitas Ventures will release ELIÁN theatrically in select cities beginning May 12th
The world thought it knew Elián González’s story: The 5-year-old boy who washed up on the Florida coast after a deadly crossing from Cuba who became the center of an extraordinary, never-before-experienced media firestorm and international custody battle, pitting family members against each other and testing political policy at a crucial moment in history. The CNN documentary ELIÁN shows how this incredible story is interwoven into the current political climate – and shows, for the first time, Elián González today speaking in a never-before-seen unfiltered way about his experiences.
Narrated by Tony Award® nominee Raúl Esparza, executive produced by Academy Award® winner Alex Gibney and produced by award-winning filmmaker Trevor Birney, codirected by Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times journalist Tim Golden and award-winning photographer Ross McDonnell, ELIÁN weaves together new interviews with Elián and his relatives in Miami.
