This new documentary tells the story of the Oct. 6, 1976, bombing of a Cubana Airlines flight from Barbados by US-backed opponents of Cuba’s revolutionary government. All 73 passengers were killed, including the entire Cuban junior fencing team, many of them teens. Washington never prosecuted the US-based counterrevolutionaries responsible for the crime.
