An awareness-raising story by the captain of Louise Michel, Banksy’s lifeboat.

While thousands of people are drowning in the Mediterranean, seeking refuge in Europe, a captain decides to take to sea with her crew. She refuses to accept that the European Union has decided to let people die knowingly.

But when their rescue operations are sabotaged, she understands that she is going to have to fight for her freedom, and face a political power that is ready to betray its values. Her only hope: rebellion.

A committed narrative that shows a tragic reality.
