11/08/2020 Long awaited documentary for me to se and I could not find it until four years after it's release. Italian island of Lampedusa is a small place where everyone works within the fishing business. Sure, they have some troubles with unfriendly waters at times and the usual middle life issues. The biggest problem here are all the refugees. They come in by boats. Many of them already dead, most of them really sick. Hundreds in every boat and there are plenty of boats. People from this area seem to get many of these boats and they are trying to help. It cost them a lot, both physically and money-wise. A pretty tough documentary that shows us the extreme reality of people leaving they're country as they have not other choice. They gamble and many fail. People want to help, but it's not easy. There's too many refugees and so much work. This film is concentrating on a Lampedusa family for most of the playtime, especially on a young boy with some eye issues. It shift's nicely between subjects, and it's in total a very important, solid watch. 8 out of 10 sling shots.

It is a tragic tale of all the immigrants that die making the trek and there should have been more focus on this part of the story. See more 05/09/2019 Just dull. No story thread, a snails pace, and nothing to say about a complex topic See more 02/10/2018 ONLY WISH I DISCOVERED I COULD WATCH THIS AT DOUBLE SPEED ALL TOO LATE IN THE MOVIE... STORY TOLD BUT A TRIAL OF PATIENCE. Tragedy appreciated. See more 06/10/2017 There wasn’t a single fire in this movie at all. The sea was present, but there was certainly no fire on the sea. To make up for it there is a pretty cool kid with a lazy eye that is a “passionate” sling shot maker who gets sea sick despite being from a family of sailing fisherman. That kid is awesome. See more 06/04/2017 This was the dumbest movie I have ever watched. I watched the whole thing waiting for there to be a break out moment or foe there go be. Connection with the different groups the movie was about but there be ed was one. And then the movie just ends. See more Read all reviews
