Peter Debruge Variety 02/26/2019

A tense, gripping, memorable film. Go to Full Review Gerald Peary Arts Fuse 02/21/2019

02/21/2019 Competent documentary about migrants fleeing syria by boat and the volunteers who try to rescue them from sinking rafts.. I'm sure I have seen a couple of other documentaries on this exact same subject the previous few years... this is not one of the better ones but its still decent enough. See more Read all reviews
