The Stella Maris Berria is a tuna vessel destined for scrapping. However, Iñigo Mijangos and Iñigo Gutierrez, two members of the NGO Salvamento Marítimo Humanitario, have an unusual idea: to transform the fishing boat into a rescue boat to save refugees drowning in the Mediterranean Sea. That is how Aita Mari was born.
“A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. Javi Julio's vision lands with breathtaking precision.”
“Every frame feels alive. Aita Mari is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.”
