Synopsis
In the early morning hours of June 24, 2021, the Champlain Towers South building in Surfside, Florida suddenly collapsed and became one of the deadliest building failures in modern history. A fortunate few would be extricated alive, but 98 victims — including children as young as one — were pulled lifeless from the ruins. This film will go to the visceral heart of the disaster; it sits alongside survivors, first-responders and desperate relatives; it relives the journalists’ and engineers’ frantic quest for answers; reveals the turbulent history of Miami — the riots, the drugs, the bribes and the condo boom; and forensically examines all the prime suspects that may have contributed to the condo collapse. As the twists and turns of the investigation play out, one of the most striking tragedies uncovered is that this crisis might have been averted — and the reasons why it wasn’t, exposes profound truths about how profit so easily trumps human life.
