The film captures multiple rescues and the violent threats made by the Libyan Coast Guard. There is unique footage shot by the new IAI Heron drone the EU is operating over the Mediterranean, and we witness the chaos and tension aboard the packed vessel as it battles to find a friendly port willing to take the migrants. This year has seen much criticism directed at Libya for the brutal way in which it is handling the migrant crisis.
