The Jump
- Richard Dextraze1 de julio de 2026Quite an interesting documentary. I was part of the crew of the "Vig" that day. It was a sad day for the USA. Due to lack of social media in that time period, quite a bit of the history is somewhat new to me. It is extremely timely, with the SCOTUS affirmation of birthright citizenship, a right contained in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. Without it, this would not have ever become a story, much less a documentary and a Hollywood movie (see "The Defection of Simas Kudirka" 1979). Leave it to a foreign director to tell a story about an American incident that helps us understand and appreciate the rights afforded us by our Constitution.

Año 1970. La Guardia Costera de los EE. UU. se dispone a encontrarse con un barco soviético anclado frente a las costas Norteamericanas. Se ha programado una conferencia de un día entre las dos naciones para discutir los derechos de pesca en el Océano Atlántico. Mientras las conversaciones están en pleno apogeo, el marinero lituano Simas Kudirka salta al agua helada del Atlántico y nada hasta el barco estadounidense en un frenético intento de conseguir la libertad. Para su desgracia y ante el clamor de numerosos medios de comunicación mundiales, los estadounidenses lo devuelven a los soviéticos y Simas es juzgado por traición. El evento desencadena una serie de protestas en todo EE. UU. pidiendo su libertad. Toda esperanza parece perdida, hasta que aparece nueva información sobre Simas.
