| Summary |
Based on a true story, a rookie journalist risks his life to uncover the story of a lifetime. In 2008, rookie journalist Jay Bahadur forms a half-baked plan to embed himself among the pirates of Somalia. Though dangerously out of his depth, he ultimately succeeds in providing the first close-up look into who these men are, how they live, and the forces that drive them. |
