Doc Club - Art of Action season special
Miracle Fishing
The story of a father's kidnapping as told through the 1994 video diaries of his son, the film's Director Miles Hargrove.
Director: Miles Hargrove
107 mins/ 2020 / USA
Screening as part of our Art of Action BFI-funded season.
In 1994, Miles Hargrove’s father was kidnapped outside their home in Cali, Colombia, by the FARC. In an instant, the Hargrove family found themselves in the midst of a Colombian epidemic — the kidnap and ransom trade. Their only hope was to give in to the guerrillas’ demands, but they had no idea how to embark on the journey ahead. To cope with the long and difficult negotiations, Miles kept a Video8 diary of the events that unfolded. Twenty-five years later, he revisited the footage to turn his diary into a documentary chronicling his family’s incredible story.
