              Save Our Souls

              Jean-Baptiste Bonnet / France / 2024 / 91 min

              A filmmaker boards a ship bound for the coast of Libya to document the crew's rescue mission: to bring migrants to safety from drowning. The operation succeeds, but an uncertain future lies ahead.

              In the Mediterranean, thousands of migrants struggle to reach the shores of Europe, but for many the journey ends tragically. In ‘Save Our Souls’, filmmaker Jean-Baptiste Bonnet boards the relief ship Ocean Viking, operated by SOS Méditerranée, to document the crew’s work from the moment they weigh anchor until the last migrant steps ashore.

              Aid workers peer through binoculars towards the horizon. Is that a rubber dinghy in the distance? Along the coast of Libya, they search for boats, hoping to get there before disaster strikes. When they spot a sinking dinghy, an intensive rescue operation is launched – and the camera is with them all the way.

              The crew succeeds in bringing the refugees to safety, but the journey is far from over. As they wait for a port in Europe to take them in, the migrants share their terrifying escape stories. ‘Save Our Souls’ is a moving tale of the unity between crew and migrants. Told over two months from a temporary home in the middle of the rocking sea.
