![]() ![]() ![]() The story is fairly simple (and based on a true one too). So it´s indeed a topic that is of “sailing”-interest, of human interest a good deal more. Big enough for having changed as well the whole sailing world: Yachtsmen are to avoid sailing Somali waters, literally, the whole region around Africa, the Horn, the Red Sea is off limits to recreational sailing these days, driven by the brutal wars ravaging these countries for decades now, piracy and the absolutely horrible situation in Yemen and the Middle East in general. In fact, there is just one single time a ship on the screen for merely a minute and this one will never be boarded – nevertheless, piracy at the Horn of Africa is a big topic. Jay, absolute freshman, arrives in stirring hot Somalia: Dabkaĭo not expect a sailing movie. First things first: I absolutely like the film and would recommend watching it. ![]() This may be the case because it´s not a dedicated sailing- or “seabound” movie, but also, because it´s a very special movie to. If it wasn´t for amazon prime´s “included in your prime”-offer, I probably wouldn´t have found it as “Pirates of Somalia” generally doesn´t make it on all these “Top Movie”-lists on the internet. It´s a film made back in 2017 and truly a hidden gem. There isn´t many exciting stories right now amidst lockdown and winter season so, naturally, I increase my consumption of movies and books for review – another one shall be my first entry of this new year 2021. ![]()
