Summary
Grenada 1983. Prime Minister Maurice Bishop and a number of his colleagues were machine-gunned to death. Their bodies were never found. The film explores the achievements and shortcoming of the People's Revolutionary Government (1979-1983) of Grenada as it attempted to forge a new revolutionary society. The film focuses on the year 1983, with gripping and previously unseen archival footage, as well as firsthand recollections of persons who witnessed the tragic events of October 19. It examines the circumstances surrounding the execution of Prime Minister Maurice Bishop and his close colleagues, whose bodies were never recovered. With its multiple perspectives and different narratives, the film explores this key event in the recent history of the Caribbean and raises questions which must be answered.
