Elian Trailer (2017)

Trailer for the documentary Elian, from directors Tim Golden and Ross McDonnell.

The world thought it knew Elian Gonzalez's story: The 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 Elian shows how this incredible story is interwoven into the current political climate -- and shows, for the first time, Elian Gonzalez today speaking in a never-before-seen unfiltered way about his experiences.
