Inspired by true events, a group of migrants trapped inside a shipping container desperately try to survive a perilous journey in search of a better life.
"The Container" delves into the poignant micro-odyssey of a cohort of North African migrants, courageously embarking on the treacherous "Libya to Italy" trafficking route in their quest to break free from poverty, conflict, and oppression. Through the eyes of Abrihet, an 8-year-old Eritrean girl, and her father Filmon, we are immersed in their journey alongside a pair of Nigerian brothers, a resilient mother of two, a Sudanese survivor of human trafficking, and an anxious villager determined to survive against all odds. Throughout their intense 36-hour expedition, this eclectic group of strangers must collaborate to maintain silence through security checkpoints, endure blistering 115+ degree heat while preserving their hydration, and take turns sharing their dreams of a fresh start as they navigate the arid Libyan desert.
