Run Time: 10 minutes
Return to Mogadishu: Remembering Black Hawk Down documents 1996 Army Best Ranger Jeff Struecker, a former Army Ranger from the “Battle of Mogadishu” and a key character in the film Black Hawk Down, as he returns to what is still considered the most dangerous place in the world – the streets of Mogadishu - in order to relive the battle. In this attempt to retrace the exact route the rescue convoy took during the firefight, filmmakers share Jeff’s first-hand story while driving through the city streets. With some of the first footage shot from inside “Bakaara Market” the film uncovers the emotions experienced by special operators during the battle, seen as Jeff wrestles with the aftermath of a place that reshaped his personal perspective on life and death.
