Silverton Siege is yet to be documented in Wikipedia. However, there is information on the tragic event in South Africa in 1980. For its promotion, Netflix has recently launched its trailer on the site.
The tragic event occurred on 25 January 1980, when a failed sabotage attempt turned into a bank hostage standoff, and a trio of freedom fighters collided with the authorities.
As mentioned on a site, the short teaser begins with a scene of police cars driving down the road, an officer shooting out a car tire, and the freedom fighters escaping from them in Silverton, Pretoria. All of this is blended seamlessly with the voice-over of Calvin, a liberation warrior performed by Thabo Rametsi.

Calvin tells the audience about how he witnessed his parents being shot down by cops when he was a small child and how he aims to avenge them. Also, further in the video, we could see the fighters demanding the release of Nelson Mandela.
These three started to make demands because leaving the bank would kill them or send them to jail. They were not ready for both of them; as a result, the tension inside the bank started to escalate.
As a result, the event concluded the same day with a saddening moment. All three trio died on the scene.
According to a source, two from the trio were killed instantly. Whereas another one fired at the police and threw explosives. During the crossfire, two hostages died. One passed away on the spot & another hour later after being taken to the hospital.
