Two Egyptian extreme athletes, Omar Samra and Omar Nour, enter the world's toughest rowing race: the Atlantic Challenge, an unsupported 3,000 mile open-ocean race from the Canary Islands to Antigua, despite neither having experience on open water. The athletes trained for an entire year before embarking on the voyage in a high-tech unsinkable rowboat, which they dedicate to the plight of refuges worldwide for whom unimaginable peril, exposure and even death at sea comes to tens of thousands annually. What they couldn't prepare for is what actually happened.

Gripping storytelling

April 25, 2024
I saw a screening of this documentary at a film festival and was absolutely on the edge of my seat. I think the filmmakers did a great job of working with the limited materials they had--factors revealed in the film--an excellent editing.
