Ridley Scott’s RSA puts Doc ‘Surviving Black Hawk Down’ on Netflix

Ridley Scott’s production company RSA is to revisit the Battle of Mogadishu in a new Netflix documentary, “Surviving Black Hawk Down.”

The documentary, directed by Jack MacInnes (“Leaving Afghanistan”), will explore the real-life events of the 1993 battle between US and Somali forces that inspired Scott’s 2001 film.

The feature, which was nominated for four Oscars including director, starred Josh Hartnett, Ewan McGregor, Hugh Dancy and Jason Isaacs, among others.

It also featured Orlando Bloom and Tom Hardy in the first flush of their careers

The three-part documentary will explore the real events behind the film, incorporating immersive storytelling and first-person interviews from the people who saw it firsthand.

“Survivng Black Hawk Down” will premiere on the streamer on February 10.

Jamal Osman and Emma Supple are producing, while Dominic Crossley-Holland and Tom Pearson are Exec Producers. (Scott, who launched RSA in 1968 with his late brother Tony Scott, is not creatively involved in the project.)

“RSA is thrilled to bring this compelling story to a new audience with Netflix, nearly 25 years after Ridley’s iconic film,” said Crossley Holland, RSA’s global head of unscripted. “It’s a poignant tale and powerful and moving to hear from both US forces and Somalis for the first time.”

RSA, which has offices in LA, London, Amsterdam, New York and Hong Kong, has expanded its unscripted offerings in recent years, including the Netflix doc “Robbie Williams,” directed by Joe Pearlman, and an upcoming Billie Jean King- documentary, directed by Liz Garbus and Elizabeth Wolff.
