The subject of pirates along the Somalian coastline is always a hot political topic, the country of Somalia which is said to be a lawless land that allows all sort of criminal activity has bred groups of men to become pirates. Looting ships that come through the Suez Canal and taking the crews hostage in hope for a ransom off the rich companies and countries that they come from. It's political hot potato that no country really wants to deal with until a crew from their country is taken hostage. The Danes have made a film that follows a crew in such a situation, something that is quite often overlooked in these situations in the news.
The crew of a Danish cargo ship is hijacked off the Somali coast and taken to land where they are held hostage as frantic talks with the Danish government in Copenhagen take place to secure their safe release.
A Hijacking is released in the UK on the 10th May 2013 and the trailer is embedded below:
