Really enjoyed this. Plays out the sequences on the boat very engagingly, and the cast is great.

Thirty men take off from Senegal in a small boat to try and make it to Spain in hopes of finding a better life for themselves or providing a better life for their families. The great bulk of the movie takes place in the boat where we learn about the men and their hopes and see both moments of joy and deep despair. A beautiful and deeply moving story told by a voice that is often ignored.
