Synopsis
The filmmakers spent three years traveling to some of the world's most violent locales in order to make this documentary on Somali piracy. Utilizing exclusive interviews and unparalleled access to real pirates, hostages, hostages' relatives, ship-owners, pirate negotiators and experts on piracy and international policy, it presents a chilling exploration of the Somali pirate phenomenon. Audio recordings and found video chronicle the real-life hostage negotiation of a Danish shipping vessel, the CEC Future. As the haggling between the ship's stoic owner Per Gullestrup, and the pirate's loquacious negotiator Ishmael Ali, drags on for 70 days, the relationship of these two adversaries takes an unexpected turn and an unlikely friendship is born.
