11/18/1983 7 young people from among the Georgian elite attempted to hijack an airplane in order to escape from the USSR. This tragedy is still a national tragedy and an unhealed wound in Georgia. In 2017, director Rezo Gigineishvili made the film "Hostages", in which he tried to analyze what had happened. It was important for each of the filmmakers and real participants in the events to understand why and why they did it. For some victims of the tragedy, the film "Hostages" helped to forgive.
