The film reveals the plight of Somali pirates, mostly former fishermen, who, as a result of the global fishing industry, can no longer make a living from the sea as they once did and have to join up with pirate cartels in order to feed themselves and their families.
“A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. David Čálek's vision lands with breathtaking precision.”
“Every frame feels alive. Pirating Pirates is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.”
