- Synopsis
- Executive produced by Academy Award® winner Alex Gibney, eliÁn is the remarkable story of Elián González, a five-year-old Cuban boy plucked from the Florida Straits, and how the fight for his future changed the course of US-Cuban relations.
  
  Featuring powerful personal testimony, candid interviews and extraordinary news archive, this gripping documentary tells Elián’s remarkable survival after his mother and ten others perished at sea; the custody battle between the boy’s Cuban father and Miami-based relatives; and the momentous political fight that came to surround it.
  
  Offering a never-before-seen intimate portrait of Elián today, this is a story of family and the challenges of reconciliation; of two nations working towards healing old wounds; and of Elián and his father and the possibility that, seventeen years on, this once-close family might finally make peace.
