Description
Based on the 1985 hijacking by Palestinian terrorists of the Mediterranean cruise ship Achille Lauro. Award-winning British film-maker Penny Woolcock, working with the composer, ingeniously reworked the original, using techniques afforded by film to imbue the narrative with realism. While the main action is shot on location in the Mediterranean, actual and recreated archive footage tells the broader story of the characters before and after the hijacking.
