The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - How can I get a copy of the FBI video "Firefight," based on the Miami shootout?

I might be wrong here, but the only video entitled "Firefight" about the Miami, Florida FBI shootout I have ever heard of is the episode of the "FBI Files" produced for The Learning Channel. It is a good video, complete with a reenactment and interviews along the way with some of the Special Agents that participated in the gunfight.

You should be able to by this video by hunting around www.tlc.discovery.com.

I just checked this link:
http://tlc.discovery.com/tv/tvschedu...isode=21141026

which says that "Firefight" will be aired two times on The Learning Channel on October 24, and once again on October 29.

Another fact-based account of this gunfight can be seen in "In the Line of Duty: The FBI Murders" starring Michael Gross (of "Family Ties" fame) as one of the scumbags (I can't remember if it was Matix or Platt.). That might be available for rent at your local video store (At least it is in mine...).
