Netflix, Rory Kennedy & Imagine Strap In For Documentary Sequel On Turbulent Boeing
As the aerospace company's freefall continues, the Oscar nominated director, Imagine & the streamer have re-teamed for a sequel to their 2022 Sundance debuting film
The Mark Bailey & Keven McAlester written film examined the fatal failures and corporate cost cutting at Boeing that led to two of the company’s 737 MAX planes crashing less than six months apart in 2019 in Indonesia and Ethiopia and the tragic loss of over 340 lives. Currently working on a film about Alec Baldwin and the fatal 2021 shooting of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins,, Kennedy’s Downfall also was critical of the $2.5 billion settlement Boeing reached in 2021 to stem DOJ probes. With accidents in the air, whistleblower revelations and deaths over the past year, more multi-million-dollar fines, and now the looming departure of shamed CEO Dave Calhoun, in just the last week Boeing has agreed to plead guilty to a criminal fraud charge under a new DOJ deal.
