The Somali Project

Oct 25 2013 Unrated 1h 30m
Documentary, News

The Project profiles the precarious, real-life story of the Puntland Maritime Police Force, a group of Somali pirate hunters. Taking the hijacking of the African waterways and the kidnapping of innocent citizens into their under-trained hands, the PMPF face mutiny, death and a loss of corporate funding in their dangerous quest to free the Middle East shipping industry from terror. The mercenaries’ epic battle makes for an intense, gripping and disarming ride.

Plot

For 18 months, an Emmy- and Peabody-winning film team risked life and limb to document one of the most audacious (and troubled) military mission ever imagined - a ground-up anti-piracy force in Somalia, the most lawless nation on Earth. From hijacked oil tankers, to pirate prisons, to a murder, and the attempted killing of our cameraman, almost everything is captured on tape.
