Estonia, the mystery of a shipwreck

Synopsis

Accident or crime ? The worst maritime catastrophe since the second world war occured fourteen years ago, and even today the nature of this drama is shrouded in mystery. Hurried instructions, hushed up responsibilities, arbitrary refusals to recover neither the bodies nor the wreckage by the Swedish authorities and troubling revelations have all opened the door on all sorts of crazy hypotheses.The result : a new offical enquiry which reaffirms the accident theory, a theory which no one believes, least of all the families of the victims who cannot forget that the wreckage took place in the most troubling period after the Cold War…This documentary is an enquiry which will untie the knots of rumour, track down the truth, and investigate why nobody has, until now, been found responsible for the deaths of 852 people.
