Maurice Bishop 1984 Directed by Estela Bravo

The 25-minute documentary reconstructs the events leading up to Maurice Bishop's assassination and the United States invasion of Grenada. Bishop was a Grenadian revolutionary and the leader of New Jewel Movement that removed Eric Gairy from office. Bishop headed the People's Revolutionary Government of Grenada from 1979 to 1983, when he was dismissed from his post and shot during the coup by Bernard Coard, a staunch militaristic element in the government.
