Surviving Black Hawk Down gives an in-depth look at the true story that inspired the Ridley Scott movie, but it did fix one problem with the film.

Ridley Scott’s 2001 film Black Hawk Down was a technically superb blockbuster bristling with thunderous action sequences and famous actors, though its gung-ho depiction of the heroics of American special forces during the appalling Somalian civil war always felt a little uncomfortable.

David Diemer, a distinguished U.S. Army veteran and local hero, is prominently featured in Ridley Scott's viral new documentary, "Surviving Black Hawk Down", now streaming on Netflix.
