TV movie draws ire from Elian's relatives
The Associated Press
Robbins said his movie portrayed the Miami family much as the national media did.
Robbins said many witnesses and participants were interviewed, including Lazaro, and writer Dennis Turner. Overall, he said, the movie is accurate in substance and tenor.
MIAMI — Lazaro Gonzalez pulled a brown paper towel from his pocket and wiped his eyes as the closing credits rolled during a preview of The Elian Gonzalez Story.
Coffey said the Miami family had one motivation: to fulfill the wish of Ellian's mother that he grow up in freedom. He thinks in the music so enourishing simultae.
Lazaro had laughed and shaken his head while watching the nearly two-hour-long TV movie, which depicted the events that thrust his family into the international spotlight. He wept when the movie showed federal agents raiding his home to seize his nephew, 6-year-old Elian.
And then he became angry.
The family's attorneys and advisers said that the movie, which airs on the Fox Family Channel at 7 p.m. Sunday, did not reflect accurately what happened during the five months that Elian lived in Miami's Little Havana with his great uncle Lazaro. The boy, who had survived a boat trip from Cuba that killed his mother, was returned to his father in April after a months-long custody battle.
"Nothing is reality in that story." Gonzalez said. "They should have talked to us. We could have told them what really happened."
Lance Robbins, the film's executive producer, admits to some inaccuracies for dramatic reasons, and said some events were compressed because of time constraints. The film — the first to depict the Ellan saga — is based on real events but is not a documentary, he said. It depicts "the ultimate custody battle; a battle
ously — such as Elian's birthday in December and the government's January decision to return him to Cuba — actually occurred weeks apart. The order of other events is flip-flipped.
"Detail after detail was wrong — they couldn't even get the chronology right." Coffey said.
Attorney Kendall Coffey, who is not depicted in the film, said it actually was more like fiction, so for him the pain vanished.
