In the flying coffin - The Landshut abduction from the hostages' point of view

About This Movie

So, 'In the Flying Coffin' really tugs at the heartstrings, you know? It's not your typical documentary. It’s this deep dive into the Landshut hijacking from the actual hostages' perspective. The pacing is a bit slow at times, but it really allows those personal stories to breathe. Original recordings from Mogadishu add this gritty atmosphere, while the interviews from 1980 lend a haunting quality. The way they capture the fear and uncertainty—it’s raw, very raw. And the practical effects are minimal, which only enhances the authenticity. You get a real sense of what these people went through. It stands out among other documentaries of the era. Totally worth a watch if you’re into that kind of thing.
