A slap in the face

This film is awkward and not intellectually challenging at all. The way the film director chose to bring about awareness regarding refugees is gratuitous and insulting to refugees. Refugees are seeking live saving measures and the boat racers are there because they want to be. Obviously, this film was made by a guy with privilege (money) who is good at faking empathy for others. He barely even musters up some real refugees (a few at the very end) to tell their actual stories of peril and instead focuses on a couple of wealthy men in a perilous situation that they CHOSE to participate in. And of course, men are the primary heroes - just forget women. For a film that purports to be insightful this film falls flat.
