- Synopsis
- In 1971, in Montevideo's boardwalk, an anxious crowd awaited, eager to catch sight of the maneuvers of the Sikorsky helicopters. In a matter of seconds, the quiet, weekend scenario turned into a nightmare. Two helicopters crashed against each other, projecting their blades to the audience of thousands, massively hurting many and causing the death of several spectators. This is the first time a Uruguayan documentary deals with this story, kept in hiding for more than 30 years.
