A Guardian Seascape film, it follows an overcrowded ship with asylum seekers that leaves Libya bound for Europe – triggering a high-stakes showdown between a Doctors Without Borders vessel wanting to escort it to safety and the Libyan Coast Guard fighting to turn it back. As the Libyans issue armed threats, tension grows below deck, revealing an inside view of the desperate hope that is the deadly race for Europe

My problem is that it’s only men. Where r their wives and sisters? I see lines and lines in Europe and not even 5% is women. Where r they?

This is just going to get worse and worse. We need a solution to help these people stay in their own countries with hope. Its just going to get bigger and bigger and even the people with more empathy will start to change heart. Dictators and corruption with plenty of foreign businesses that go along with it as long as there is money to be made.

I'm from Libya and I'm sorry to see and hear what these people had to go through , and what they suffered from being in libya . but also the world should know what is happening in Libya and the amount of people coming in to the country from all the other countries , Libya is a country that is tarred a part by war , the government has no way to control the sures by itself without international help >>>> hope everyone reaches there destination safe .... everyone deserves a better life

Very inconclusive ending. What happens to the refugees who are rejected from asylum?
-
Wow. Within a day they are fighting each other and making threats and demands of the crew. SMH😮
-
Why is it only males?? Why leave women and children behind? That's what I don't understand!
-
Where are the women and children???
-
I hope Mohaned from Sudan who was a medical student and had respectable goals and people like him achieve their noble dreams- unlike the ones who just want to marry German women.
-
Note the number of young men!!
-
I dont understand for what they are so happy...the guy said rock and roll!!! they are bringing outlaws inside in their own country!!!!
-
But where are the women and children? The men should stay to fight/help their country and the women and children should be able to come. I think a lot of people would be more supportive if that were the case.
-
they are not asylum seekers
-
NGOs should be under investigation for encouraging illegal immigration , and their funding and management under extreme scrutiny . Questions should also be asked why NGOs are not helping the millions of EU citizens living in poverty , and the millions more who are unemployed . NGOs represent minority opinion in the EU and all those encouraging illegal immigrants should be banned
-
If a person is poor why do they procreate in troves like this? It's insane
-
We’ve got enough in Europe.
-
Educated men need to stay and make the country a better place. Do not run away. They are fighting with the sea.Each action has consequences.
