An action-packed documentary that chronicles the adventure of two Egyptian athletes as they embark on an Atlantic crossing in a 7 meter row-boat, poignantly illuminating the most pressing humanitarian crisis in the world today.

As their high-tech, unsinkable, US$1m row boat capsizes, the two men discover that a mid-gale rescue can be even more terrifying than being lost, on a raft, in the middle of the Atlantic. After our protagonists jaw-dropping rescue (filmed as it happened by the ship’s crew), the film pivots to the stories of a Syrian husband and father and a young African man whose own harrowing journeys offer illuminating counterpoint. In the extraordinary ordeal of our two Westernised protagonists, this documentary personalizes and universalizes the plight of refugees, making their lives, dreams and sacrifices our own.
