3
00:00:10,458 --> 00:00:16,208
BASED ON A TRUE STORY

4
00:00:31,958 --> 00:00:34,416
It all started with one tiny boat.

5
00:00:40,958 --> 00:00:42,875
Can we just let people drown?

6
00:00:46,875 --> 00:00:48,916
Can we actually look away?

7
00:00:52,125 --> 00:00:54,708
The thought flooded me.

8
00:00:56,958 --> 00:00:59,083
I felt it deeply. It wouldn't go away.

9
00:01:00,708 --> 00:01:02,083
It only got bigger.

10
00:01:03,416 --> 00:01:05,750
It got stronger and stronger.

11
00:01:07,875 --> 00:01:09,666
Till I couldn't break free from it.

12
00:01:12,750 --> 00:01:14,625
We're facing 20 years in prison now.

13
00:01:19,750 --> 00:01:23,666
SUMMER 2015

14
00:01:34,541 --> 00:01:37,166
Go, go, go, go! Yes!

15
00:01:37,250 --> 00:01:38,875
Go!

16
00:01:55,375 --> 00:01:57,458
During the summer of 2015,

17
00:01:57,541 --> 00:02:00,583
hundreds of thousands of refugees
made their way to Germany and Europe.

18
00:02:00,666 --> 00:02:02,250
-Take out the bottles?
-Mm-hmm.

19
00:02:06,416 --> 00:02:08,583
They were fleeing from war and violence,

20
00:02:08,666 --> 00:02:11,125
hoping for protection and a better future.

21
00:02:11,958 --> 00:02:13,833
-Good morning.
-Morning.

22
00:02:15,291 --> 00:02:18,666
-Wow, you look great.
-You too.

23
00:02:18,750 --> 00:02:21,875
Despite great challenges
and a whole bunch of unanswered questions,

24
00:02:21,958 --> 00:02:23,875
a wave of compassion swept the country.

25
00:02:23,958 --> 00:02:25,708
There was a true willingness to help.

26
00:02:25,791 --> 00:02:28,250
-No!
-Not a problem. It's all good.

27
00:02:28,333 --> 00:02:31,958
-It happens.
-Sorry.

28
00:02:32,041 --> 00:02:33,708
It's really not a problem.

29
00:02:33,791 --> 00:02:36,250
We know now we want more

30
00:02:36,916 --> 00:02:38,583
Oh, ah

31
00:02:38,666 --> 00:02:40,500
Oh, ah

32
00:02:40,583 --> 00:02:42,750
A life worth fighting for

33
00:02:44,666 --> 00:02:47,791
So let them say we can't do better

34
00:02:51,166 --> 00:02:53,916
Lay out the rules that we can't break

35
00:02:57,166 --> 00:03:00,333
They wanna sit and watch you wither…

36
00:03:02,125 --> 00:03:03,291
-Hey there.
-What's up?

37
00:03:03,375 --> 00:03:05,791
I've got some food donations in here.

38
00:03:09,333 --> 00:03:11,458
The openheartedness didn't last.

39
00:03:11,541 --> 00:03:16,000
European governments grew overwhelmed
and decided to shut their borders.

40
00:03:16,083 --> 00:03:18,125
For many refugees, the only option left

41
00:03:18,208 --> 00:03:20,750
was to try and survive
an escape across the Mediterranean.

42
00:03:20,833 --> 00:03:22,958
There were no government rescue missions.

43
00:03:23,041 --> 00:03:27,166
Only one private ship attempted
to save people from drowning.

44
00:03:28,291 --> 00:03:31,125
Hey. You want the ball?

45
00:03:31,208 --> 00:03:33,458
A life worth fighting for…

46
00:03:34,541 --> 00:03:37,041
Even though
it seemed completely impossible…

47
00:03:39,458 --> 00:03:40,708
…I wanted to help.

48
00:03:40,791 --> 00:03:42,833
Ah, no! No!

49
00:03:47,958 --> 00:03:51,666
-We saw that in one of my classes.
-Two? Two more, Emil!

50
00:03:51,750 --> 00:03:54,750
…where Europe ends,
and no one cares what happens beyond that.

51
00:03:54,833 --> 00:03:57,750
Until last year, there was
a government-funded rescue mission.

52
00:03:57,833 --> 00:04:01,250
The Mare Nostrum rescued
over 150,000 refugees a year.

53
00:04:01,333 --> 00:04:03,208
And it got canceled. So no more help.

54
00:04:03,291 --> 00:04:05,125
No one goes out
on rescue missions anymore.

55
00:04:05,208 --> 00:04:08,958
But there's like 150 people
in each of those rubber boats.

56
00:04:09,041 --> 00:04:11,625
Or over 1,000 people
in old wooden vessels.

57
00:04:11,708 --> 00:04:13,083
There isn't a single life jacket.

58
00:04:13,166 --> 00:04:16,541
If there's an incident, they all drown
'cause no one's there to help.

59
00:04:17,250 --> 00:04:21,291
So I was thinking,
there's got to be a way to get involved.

60
00:04:21,375 --> 00:04:23,208
Like buy a rescue ship.

61
00:04:25,583 --> 00:04:26,791
Buy an actual ship?

62
00:04:26,875 --> 00:04:29,541
Yeah, I think it's possible.
I've seen a ton for sale online.

63
00:04:29,625 --> 00:04:31,208
But how are you actually gonna get it?

64
00:04:31,291 --> 00:04:33,500
You've got nothing in the bank
and no clue about boats.

65
00:04:33,583 --> 00:04:35,750
Yeah, that's all true, but how about…

66
00:04:37,125 --> 00:04:38,250
Okay.

67
00:04:39,041 --> 00:04:42,458
I mean, all around the world,
younger generations are coming together

68
00:04:42,541 --> 00:04:44,125
and achieving tremendous things.

69
00:04:44,208 --> 00:04:49,125
I say that we use that same energy
to come up with a creative solution.

70
00:04:49,208 --> 00:04:52,708
Know what I mean? We need
to focus on things greater than ourselves.

71
00:04:52,791 --> 00:04:55,500
If there's a way to save lives,
we should do it.

72
00:05:02,625 --> 00:05:04,041
Hello, Lukas Weiland here.

73
00:05:04,125 --> 00:05:07,958
I saw your boat listed online
and was wondering if I can see it.

74
00:05:08,833 --> 00:05:12,166
I'm a private individual.
I know. It's for a good cause.

75
00:05:12,250 --> 00:05:16,458
I'm… looking for a boat to help migrants
in the Mediterranean in distress.

76
00:05:16,541 --> 00:05:18,000
We're still raising funds.

77
00:05:18,083 --> 00:05:20,166
But I was also curious
about what requirements we need

78
00:05:20,250 --> 00:05:22,041
to meet with these kinds of boats?

79
00:05:22,125 --> 00:05:24,500
Maybe you'd be able to help me with that?

80
00:05:24,583 --> 00:05:28,833
Yeah, I… almost have
all the funding secured, um…

81
00:05:30,083 --> 00:05:31,625
We're getting really close.

82
00:05:32,291 --> 00:05:36,333
Okay. Got it. I'll reach out again
once I have all the money.

83
00:05:36,416 --> 00:05:39,125
You said you wanted me
to have a plan. I've got one.

84
00:05:39,208 --> 00:05:42,000
-Thanks a lot. Lukas, it's wonderful.
-Thank you.

85
00:05:42,083 --> 00:05:46,000
Really, it's great. But in all honesty,
when I said you should have a plan,

86
00:05:46,083 --> 00:05:48,000
I never meant buying a ship.

87
00:05:48,083 --> 00:05:50,083
So, isn't there some other project

88
00:05:50,166 --> 00:05:53,875
between a job at a supermarket
and… some fantasy?

89
00:05:53,958 --> 00:05:56,958
Saving drowning people
isn't exactly my idea of a fantasy.

90
00:05:57,041 --> 00:05:58,750
Oh, come on. I didn't mean it like that.

91
00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:01,166
I can tell you
exactly what's gonna happen.

92
00:06:01,250 --> 00:06:02,500
You'll dive right into this

93
00:06:02,583 --> 00:06:04,666
with all of your passion,
and that's great.

94
00:06:04,750 --> 00:06:06,333
Thing is, you won't raise enough money.

95
00:06:06,416 --> 00:06:09,458
After a year, the only thing you'll have
to show for it is a gap in your resume.

96
00:06:09,541 --> 00:06:12,958
Meanwhile, people like Kitty
will work at human rights law firms

97
00:06:13,041 --> 00:06:14,916
and really advance the cause.

98
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,583
Yeah, well, I'm gonna have
to pass two state exams

99
00:06:17,666 --> 00:06:19,041
before saving the world.

100
00:06:19,125 --> 00:06:20,541
Of course, you'll get it done.

101
00:06:21,583 --> 00:06:23,958
I just don't want to be used
as a kind of counterexample

102
00:06:24,041 --> 00:06:25,750
to criticize your son.

103
00:06:25,833 --> 00:06:27,375
Point taken.

104
00:06:27,458 --> 00:06:29,458
Okay. Forgive me.

105
00:06:29,541 --> 00:06:32,083
The only thing I'm trying to say
is I'm positive

106
00:06:32,166 --> 00:06:35,125
that choosing a conventional path
isn't automatically selfish.

107
00:06:35,208 --> 00:06:36,333
I never said it was.

108
00:06:36,416 --> 00:06:40,083
Okay, say you manage to pull it off
and go down there, then what?

109
00:06:40,166 --> 00:06:42,291
It won't change anything.
The world's not gonna change.

110
00:06:42,375 --> 00:06:44,208
The world must change.

111
00:06:45,625 --> 00:06:47,750
That won't happen if no one does anything.

112
00:06:48,625 --> 00:06:50,500
And how about what your dad thinks?

113
00:06:52,791 --> 00:06:54,541
I don't know. Haven't spoken to him.

114
00:06:54,625 --> 00:06:57,666
I'm just concerned is all. Hmm.

115
00:07:01,875 --> 00:07:03,583
You gotta keep trying.

116
00:07:04,083 --> 00:07:06,750
It's true. Yeah, there's a chance
that your mother's right

117
00:07:06,833 --> 00:07:09,000
and you may not get
the results that you hoped for…

118
00:07:09,083 --> 00:07:10,250
I doubt it though.

119
00:07:10,750 --> 00:07:14,625
And anyway, you can't give up on it now.

120
00:07:15,458 --> 00:07:18,166
You've really gotta try, 'cause you're
convinced it's the right thing.

121
00:07:18,250 --> 00:07:21,208
You can't just be all like,
"Bad idea. Let's just forget about it,"

122
00:07:21,291 --> 00:07:24,166
'cause it's too challenging
or it won't look good on your resume.

123
00:07:25,833 --> 00:07:29,958
And I'll be there for you.
Yeah, I will help you as much as possible.

124
00:07:30,041 --> 00:07:31,875
But I'm not dropping out of my studies.

125
00:07:31,958 --> 00:07:34,666
My plan is to get a degree,
and I won't back down.

126
00:07:34,750 --> 00:07:37,500
-I would never ask you to do that.
-I know that.

127
00:07:38,916 --> 00:07:41,791
I… I said it as a reminder to myself.

128
00:07:41,875 --> 00:07:44,625
I just know I'll feel guilty
for my choice.

129
00:07:53,041 --> 00:07:54,416
"Jugend Rettet."

130
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,000
What's that?

131
00:07:59,583 --> 00:08:01,333
"Youth Saves." Your project name.

132
00:08:10,916 --> 00:08:13,125
Yeah, this is very impressive.

133
00:08:13,208 --> 00:08:14,833
Great initiative.

134
00:08:14,916 --> 00:08:16,541
-Hmm?
-Mm-hmm.

135
00:08:16,625 --> 00:08:19,375
That's not an easy feat.
Takes a lot of courage.

136
00:08:20,041 --> 00:08:23,875
I'm delighted to see our youth
is starting to get involved in politics.

137
00:08:23,958 --> 00:08:25,375
But this is a bank.

138
00:08:25,458 --> 00:08:27,000
It is not a charity.

139
00:08:28,083 --> 00:08:30,583
Yes, we are a charity,
but we're not a bank.

140
00:08:30,666 --> 00:08:34,416
As a member of parliament,
I'm not a charity or a bank.

141
00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:38,208
And frankly, we all agree
that your project is a little too…

142
00:08:38,708 --> 00:08:40,000
Naive.

143
00:08:40,083 --> 00:08:42,250
I've gotta say, this is quite unrealistic.

144
00:08:42,333 --> 00:08:44,916
Especially coming from someone
as young as you.

145
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,041
But if you'd like, I'd be happy to put
your name on our internship waitlist.

146
00:08:54,333 --> 00:08:56,625
EVERY PERSON
IN DISTRESS AT SEA DESERVES RESCUE

147
00:08:58,875 --> 00:09:00,333
There are people dying out there

148
00:09:00,416 --> 00:09:02,166
'cause they fled
unbearable living conditions.

149
00:09:02,250 --> 00:09:03,666
And when I say I want to help,

150
00:09:03,750 --> 00:09:07,208
I'm told it's impossible,
it's unrealistic, and naive.

151
00:09:07,833 --> 00:09:11,166
What's actually naive is believing
the problem will solve itself.

152
00:09:11,833 --> 00:09:12,916
Great, thanks.

153
00:09:13,416 --> 00:09:15,041
Can you do the minutes for the session?

154
00:09:15,125 --> 00:09:17,083
-Yeah, sure.
-And here, in case you're interested.

155
00:09:22,666 --> 00:09:24,875
Thanks so much for the photocopies.

156
00:09:24,958 --> 00:09:28,458
No prob.
So you're getting the ship regardless?

157
00:09:28,541 --> 00:09:31,458
I'll find a way to buy it
and reach out for some more funding.

158
00:09:31,541 --> 00:09:33,583
You've gotta shoot for the moon,
am I right?

159
00:09:33,666 --> 00:09:36,000
'Cause you'll still land someplace higher.
Right? Yeah.

160
00:09:36,083 --> 00:09:37,166
Land anywhere.

161
00:09:37,250 --> 00:09:39,500
-You got the tape?
-Yeah.

162
00:09:41,250 --> 00:09:44,250
Every person in distress
at sea deserves rescue.

163
00:09:44,333 --> 00:09:45,375
Everyone deserves rescue.

164
00:09:45,458 --> 00:09:48,500
Hey, we have an information session
Saturday at four on sea rescues.

165
00:09:48,583 --> 00:09:49,875
-Thank you.
-Come by, yeah?

166
00:09:49,958 --> 00:09:54,708
JUGEND RETTET
INFO SESSION

167
00:09:54,791 --> 00:09:58,041
-Oh, thanks.
-Every person deserves rescue.

168
00:10:00,416 --> 00:10:02,583
Hey there, we're organizing
sea rescue efforts.

169
00:10:02,666 --> 00:10:05,375
Feel free to drop by
on Saturday at 4:00 p.m.

170
00:10:05,458 --> 00:10:08,041
We want to organize sea rescues.
Check out our Facebook page.

171
00:10:08,125 --> 00:10:09,916
-You'll find all the info there.
-Cool.

172
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,541
Our first meeting's Saturday at 4:00.

173
00:10:16,458 --> 00:10:18,208
Here, if you want to get involved.

174
00:10:51,916 --> 00:10:53,625
Out at sea, in the Mediterranean,

175
00:10:53,708 --> 00:10:55,708
hundreds of people are believed
to have died

176
00:10:55,791 --> 00:10:57,875
in one of the worst refugee tragedies.

177
00:10:57,958 --> 00:11:01,833
A trawler with an estimated 700 refugees
on board capsized last night,

178
00:11:01,916 --> 00:11:05,833
between the Libyan coast
and the Italian island of Lampedusa.

179
00:11:05,916 --> 00:11:09,625
According to the UNHCR,
only 28 refugees were rescued.

180
00:11:09,708 --> 00:11:12,958
As a result, the Federal Minister
of the Interior, Thomas de Maizière,

181
00:11:13,041 --> 00:11:15,541
is calling for a strategy
within the European Union

182
00:11:15,625 --> 00:11:19,666
to combat refugee smuggling gangs
to stabilize the region.

183
00:11:22,416 --> 00:11:24,500
As far as we know, the boat capsized

184
00:11:24,583 --> 00:11:27,833
most likely because the refugees rushed
to the side of the vessel

185
00:11:27,916 --> 00:11:29,916
the rescuers were arriving at.

186
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,750
There is simply a lack of ships everywhere
to help rescue people.

187
00:11:33,833 --> 00:11:37,791
Aid organizations estimate that
in the first months of this current year,

188
00:11:37,875 --> 00:11:40,250
nearly 1,600 people have perished,

189
00:11:40,333 --> 00:11:42,833
trying to escape from Africa
to get to Italy.

190
00:11:42,916 --> 00:11:44,875
These figures are unprecedented.

191
00:11:46,625 --> 00:11:48,958
SHIP

192
00:11:54,041 --> 00:11:58,041
Hey, I'm hanging up your info
to get an overview of where we're at.

193
00:11:59,291 --> 00:12:02,458
Okay, timing-wise, it's already too late
to plan a mission this year.

194
00:12:02,541 --> 00:12:06,000
Our goal is to have a vessel
in the Mediterranean by next summer,

195
00:12:06,083 --> 00:12:07,500
am I right?

196
00:12:07,583 --> 00:12:10,416
So, we've got six months left
to secure a ship,

197
00:12:10,500 --> 00:12:16,333
and we need to get people to help
with PR, logistics, and hiring a crew.

198
00:12:16,833 --> 00:12:18,583
We need financing.

199
00:12:21,208 --> 00:12:22,791
HELPERS - MONEY - SHIP

200
00:12:22,875 --> 00:12:27,625
I know this is gonna sound crazy,
but I'm obsessed with all this.

201
00:12:27,708 --> 00:12:28,666
Like, I lay awake.

202
00:12:28,750 --> 00:12:30,916
Every day, I sit in seminars,
and we keep talking

203
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,541
about how something has to be done.

204
00:12:33,625 --> 00:12:37,166
And here you are,
actually doing something about the crisis.

205
00:12:37,250 --> 00:12:39,916
I feel like I'm just irrelevant.

206
00:12:41,125 --> 00:12:42,375
You all right?

207
00:12:43,958 --> 00:12:45,375
Yeah, no, all good.

208
00:12:45,458 --> 00:12:48,208
Uh, this is great.

209
00:12:50,166 --> 00:12:53,125
-Great.
-So, does that… mean you're in?

210
00:12:53,791 --> 00:12:54,875
Yeah.

211
00:12:54,958 --> 00:12:56,541
Yeah.

212
00:12:56,625 --> 00:13:00,166
So, you take care of the ship,
and I'll handle… logistics and stuff,

213
00:13:00,250 --> 00:13:04,250
recruiting volunteers,
and we'll handle financing together.

214
00:13:04,333 --> 00:13:06,750
-Okay.
-How much money do we need?

215
00:13:06,833 --> 00:13:10,791
Um… so we need
for the boat, fuel, food, accommodations,

216
00:13:10,875 --> 00:13:12,916
medical supplies, life jackets,
and all that.

217
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,250
I'd say 300,000 euros.

218
00:13:16,458 --> 00:13:17,666
300,000?

219
00:13:18,250 --> 00:13:21,166
Yeah, 'cause ships go
for 60,000 to 100,000.

220
00:13:23,541 --> 00:13:25,666
So, any idea how we're gonna finance that?

221
00:13:25,750 --> 00:13:28,208
Sorta. I thought about some crowd funding.

222
00:13:28,291 --> 00:13:32,916
Charity… donations, and… a flea market.

223
00:13:33,833 --> 00:13:37,083
-A flea market?
-Yeah, we can sell clothes and stuff.

224
00:13:37,166 --> 00:13:38,291
Mm-hmm.

225
00:13:44,208 --> 00:13:47,208
20-WEEK CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN:

226
00:13:47,291 --> 00:13:49,375
GOAL: 300,000 EUROS

227
00:13:50,041 --> 00:13:51,458
-May I?
-Sure.

228
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,541
-Thanks a lot. Bye.
-Every donation helps!

229
00:13:55,625 --> 00:13:56,875
WEEK 1

230
00:13:56,958 --> 00:13:59,916
-How much have we raised?
-Uh… around 300?

231
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,458
Great, only 299,700 left.

232
00:14:02,541 --> 00:14:04,625
-Hey! Hello.
-Oh, just that! Hey, Domi!

233
00:14:04,708 --> 00:14:06,208
How's it going?

234
00:14:06,291 --> 00:14:09,208
Guys, this is Dominique.
She's gonna be in charge of our PR.

235
00:14:09,291 --> 00:14:10,458
-Awesome.
-Hey.

236
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,875
Here's a logo in another mock-up.

237
00:14:15,958 --> 00:14:17,666
Okay, that one's real powerful.

238
00:14:17,750 --> 00:14:19,625
-That's not it.
-Why don't you like it?

239
00:14:19,708 --> 00:14:21,833
'Cause the message is all wrong
with the fist.

240
00:14:21,916 --> 00:14:23,500
WEEK 4

241
00:14:26,416 --> 00:14:29,875
This one's my absolute favorite.
It's Kitty's artwork.

242
00:14:29,958 --> 00:14:31,208
Yeah, I think it's great.

243
00:14:32,500 --> 00:14:35,125
WEEK 6

244
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,625
Go on, open 'em!

245
00:14:44,708 --> 00:14:48,541
We were just trying to get some actors
to post about us on their socials.

246
00:14:48,625 --> 00:14:50,708
So we contacted the German Film Academy,

247
00:14:50,791 --> 00:14:52,250
and they loved our idea.

248
00:14:52,333 --> 00:14:54,500
They had an available office,
and they offered it to us.

249
00:14:55,250 --> 00:14:57,666
-Hey! So you're Lukas?
-Hi. Yeah, that's me.

250
00:14:57,750 --> 00:15:00,041
-Hi. I'm Katja. Pleased to meet you.
-So nice to meet you.

251
00:15:00,125 --> 00:15:02,000
Thanks. What you're doing is great. Bravo.

252
00:15:02,083 --> 00:15:04,500
WEEK 8

253
00:15:05,416 --> 00:15:07,416
Connections available to…

254
00:15:07,500 --> 00:15:10,041
Nina? Lukas? Check this out. Finished it.

255
00:15:10,916 --> 00:15:12,333
Nice!

256
00:15:12,416 --> 00:15:13,791
It came together well, didn't it?

257
00:15:13,875 --> 00:15:16,041
You're our hero!
Hell yeah, we have a website!

258
00:15:16,125 --> 00:15:19,291
-I'm Domi. Thanks for coming.
-Hi, I'm Sam. I'm glad to be here.

259
00:15:19,375 --> 00:15:22,166
-Happy you're here. I'm Domi.
-Hey. Hi, I'm Paula. How are you doing?

260
00:15:22,250 --> 00:15:24,541
Jugend Rettet is committed to our moral

261
00:15:24,625 --> 00:15:27,750
and legal obligation to rescue people
from drowning.

262
00:15:27,833 --> 00:15:31,458
In order to accomplish that,
the team needs a ship.

263
00:15:31,541 --> 00:15:34,291
So we're calling on you for donations.

264
00:15:34,375 --> 00:15:36,375
The train ride took over ten hours
to get here!

265
00:15:36,458 --> 00:15:38,250
How can they not even show up?

266
00:15:43,875 --> 00:15:45,791
We're gonna have to choose one soon.

267
00:15:45,875 --> 00:15:47,166
Because if we don't target one,

268
00:15:47,250 --> 00:15:50,541
we won't get to show our donors the ship
we want, and crowdfunding will tank.

269
00:15:50,625 --> 00:15:52,875
People need to know
what they're encouraging.

270
00:15:52,958 --> 00:15:55,333
-I know.
-Without any money, no ship.

271
00:15:55,416 --> 00:15:56,708
And that's it for our project.

272
00:15:56,791 --> 00:15:58,333
We can donate money and call it quits!

273
00:15:58,416 --> 00:16:00,000
I get it, Nina, all right?

274
00:16:04,708 --> 00:16:10,000
WEEK 18: 121,000 EUROS RAISED

275
00:16:32,875 --> 00:16:35,750
-No! No! No way!
-Yes! Yes! I knew you'd get it!

276
00:16:35,833 --> 00:16:38,208
-God! I've got to get it.
-This street!

277
00:16:38,291 --> 00:16:40,166
-The bank is loving this.
-How can I pay for it?

278
00:16:40,250 --> 00:16:42,916
-Okay. It costs thousands!
-Wait. What do I have? A hotel?

279
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,500
-It still costs…
-I'm gonna need to get a mortgage on it.

280
00:16:45,583 --> 00:16:47,166
Oh, just a sec.

281
00:16:47,250 --> 00:16:50,625
-19,000.
-Just a minute. Yes? Hello?

282
00:16:50,708 --> 00:16:53,083
"Zoning change approved.
Collect 50 dollars per property…"

283
00:16:53,166 --> 00:16:55,166
I thought it wasn't available anymore.

284
00:16:56,833 --> 00:17:00,416
Uh, no, no. We don't have a ship.
We're still looking.

285
00:17:01,458 --> 00:17:02,458
Yeah.

286
00:17:03,208 --> 00:17:06,333
Okay, then. How about I call you
from the office tomorrow?

287
00:17:07,291 --> 00:17:08,791
Great, thanks a lot. Cheers.

288
00:17:10,708 --> 00:17:11,708
We got one.

289
00:17:15,041 --> 00:17:16,250
Guess what?

290
00:17:18,333 --> 00:17:19,416
I found us a ship.

291
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:21,875
-You did?
-Yeah. I saw it on one of my trips.

292
00:17:21,958 --> 00:17:23,125
But it wasn't available.

293
00:17:24,166 --> 00:17:25,916
But it turns out it is after all.

294
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,750
-Okay.
-Scooch!

295
00:17:29,250 --> 00:17:34,125
The Alk Explorer was a patrol boat
in the North Sea.

296
00:17:34,208 --> 00:17:36,875
So it doubles as a hospital,
the engine's totally overhauled.

297
00:17:36,958 --> 00:17:39,333
Plus, there's room
for over 200 people on deck.

298
00:17:39,416 --> 00:17:41,375
And I think the most crucial detail,
what's great,

299
00:17:41,458 --> 00:17:44,500
is it's got a lower entry point,
so it's easier to get people on board.

300
00:17:44,583 --> 00:17:47,041
Mm-hmm. And what's the catch?

301
00:17:48,291 --> 00:17:50,541
Uh, it costs 150,000.

302
00:17:52,083 --> 00:17:54,500
Yeah, great.

303
00:17:54,583 --> 00:17:57,833
The deadline for our crowdfunding
is two weeks from now.

304
00:17:57,916 --> 00:18:02,083
We don't have a ship quite yet.
Unfortunately, we can't afford it.

305
00:18:02,166 --> 00:18:05,125
As it stands, we're gonna miss
our campaign goal, sadly.

306
00:18:05,208 --> 00:18:07,166
By quite a lot. Almost half.

307
00:18:08,125 --> 00:18:10,041
Anyone have other ideas?

308
00:18:10,958 --> 00:18:12,208
Well, all hope's not gone yet.

309
00:18:12,291 --> 00:18:15,083
It seems two parties
are still considering larger donations.

310
00:18:15,791 --> 00:18:21,750
Um, one of them… is a start-up
for e-cigarettes. Drag & Joy.

311
00:18:21,833 --> 00:18:24,250
They're thinking of giving an extra 20,000

312
00:18:24,333 --> 00:18:26,958
provided that we print their slogan
on the life jackets.

313
00:18:27,041 --> 00:18:28,791
What exactly is their slogan?

314
00:18:28,875 --> 00:18:30,708
"A new source of pleasure."

315
00:18:31,875 --> 00:18:33,791
So 100 people will be sitting in a dinghy

316
00:18:33,875 --> 00:18:36,000
with life jackets that say,
"A new source of pleasure."

317
00:18:36,083 --> 00:18:37,750
Holy moly…

318
00:18:37,833 --> 00:18:40,250
And what is the second option?

319
00:18:40,750 --> 00:18:44,458
Um, it's a married couple
with a private foundation.

320
00:18:50,041 --> 00:18:51,125
-Here?
-Yes.

321
00:18:53,666 --> 00:18:56,625
We only promote
non-profit projects run by people

322
00:18:56,708 --> 00:18:59,916
who are truly committed to actively
and democratically participating

323
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,041
in shaping their living environments.

324
00:19:03,125 --> 00:19:06,458
In that sense, Jugend Rettet
really caught our attention.

325
00:19:07,583 --> 00:19:10,083
That's why we asked you to come here.

326
00:19:10,166 --> 00:19:12,416
We'd like to hear more
about how you wish to do this.

327
00:19:13,958 --> 00:19:14,958
Go ahead.

328
00:19:15,041 --> 00:19:17,875
-Well, in the package we prepared--
-Who can tell me about the numbers?

329
00:19:22,291 --> 00:19:23,375
I can answer Oh, go on.

330
00:19:23,458 --> 00:19:24,708
And what are your majors?

331
00:19:25,208 --> 00:19:29,625
-Uh, social and economic communication.
-International relations.

332
00:19:29,708 --> 00:19:32,208
And I'm still finding my way, sir.

333
00:19:32,291 --> 00:19:36,083
Have you got anyone with actual experience
in the field working with you?

334
00:19:36,166 --> 00:19:37,875
Currently, no, but we're busy looking.

335
00:19:37,958 --> 00:19:41,500
Do you have anyone with
a financial background to manage funds?

336
00:19:41,583 --> 00:19:42,916
We're in the process of that.

337
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,458
-A lawyer?
-We have a team.

338
00:19:44,541 --> 00:19:47,583
Or someone who's done more
than just start an undergrad degree,

339
00:19:47,666 --> 00:19:50,208
or is everyone just… "finding their way"?

340
00:19:50,291 --> 00:19:53,000
You're absolutely right.
We're not professionals.

341
00:19:53,583 --> 00:19:55,750
Nobody on our team has a degree yet.

342
00:19:55,833 --> 00:19:57,375
We're all just getting started.

343
00:19:57,458 --> 00:19:59,625
But I assure you that we are serious.

344
00:19:59,708 --> 00:20:02,041
We'll make up for our innocence
with passion.

345
00:20:02,125 --> 00:20:05,041
That's exactly why we're looking
for experienced people like you

346
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,208
who share our commitment to humanity.

347
00:20:08,958 --> 00:20:10,625
So, nobody.

348
00:20:23,166 --> 00:20:24,666
We need a plan B.

349
00:20:25,666 --> 00:20:27,958
How about we downsize a little?

350
00:20:28,458 --> 00:20:32,666
Get a smaller ship, postpone
the start date, and do fewer missions.

351
00:20:34,166 --> 00:20:37,416
There's a smaller ship we could look into…

352
00:20:37,500 --> 00:20:38,500
The Passat.

353
00:20:38,583 --> 00:20:41,083
I'm familiar with it.
I went to check it out.

354
00:20:41,166 --> 00:20:42,416
Yeah? That's great.

355
00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:46,833
At least you know… the ship.

356
00:20:46,916 --> 00:20:47,958
Shit.

357
00:20:58,625 --> 00:20:59,625
Yeah?

358
00:21:02,250 --> 00:21:03,416
Uh, okay.

359
00:21:04,125 --> 00:21:05,041
Mm-hmm.

360
00:21:05,583 --> 00:21:07,333
Yes, great. Very well.

361
00:21:08,208 --> 00:21:09,333
Lukas!

362
00:21:22,208 --> 00:21:23,333
Okay.

363
00:21:27,250 --> 00:21:28,333
Hello?

364
00:21:28,416 --> 00:21:30,916
-Mrs. Gans? Hello, we're all here.
-Good.

365
00:21:31,958 --> 00:21:35,958
Uh, we took a closer look at the budget,
and we think it's quite reasonable.

366
00:21:36,041 --> 00:21:39,250
-Ask her about the office. The office.
-Right.

367
00:21:39,333 --> 00:21:43,583
The thing is, we noticed a few items
were missing from your calculations.

368
00:21:43,666 --> 00:21:46,791
For example, how much your office costs.

369
00:21:46,875 --> 00:21:48,958
It's sponsored by the German Film Academy.

370
00:21:49,041 --> 00:21:50,416
Aha, okay.

371
00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:53,208
And the cost of the shipyard
for prepping the ship?

372
00:21:53,291 --> 00:21:55,500
The owner of the shipyard
has waived the costs.

373
00:21:55,583 --> 00:21:58,291
He wants to give back.
Plus, it's an easy tax write-off.

374
00:21:59,333 --> 00:22:01,458
Good. Accommodations in Malta?

375
00:22:01,541 --> 00:22:04,000
Uh, we'll use an old lighthouse.

376
00:22:04,083 --> 00:22:06,208
Let me guess, it's also been sponsored?

377
00:22:06,291 --> 00:22:08,208
-Correct. Yes.
-Yeah.

378
00:22:09,125 --> 00:22:11,708
I have to say, though, that we do have
concerns on our end

379
00:22:11,791 --> 00:22:13,333
about the expertise in your project

380
00:22:13,416 --> 00:22:15,333
and about the structure
of the organization.

381
00:22:15,416 --> 00:22:19,666
We're also wondering how
you'll finance missions in the long-term.

382
00:22:21,583 --> 00:22:23,375
We'll buy your ship, though.

383
00:22:26,291 --> 00:22:27,583
-What?
-Yeah.

384
00:22:28,625 --> 00:22:32,333
My husband and I have agreed
to buy the ship for you.

385
00:22:32,833 --> 00:22:37,125
Yes! Yes!

386
00:22:37,916 --> 00:22:40,833
-Have a nice evening.
-You too. Thanks so much.

387
00:22:42,916 --> 00:22:44,708
As an individual, one is powerless

388
00:22:44,791 --> 00:22:46,875
and cannot change the world.

389
00:22:46,958 --> 00:22:52,000
Well, a few students here in Berlin
make a point against that worldview.

390
00:22:52,083 --> 00:22:54,750
In the factory hall in the port of Emden
lies a ship,

391
00:22:54,833 --> 00:22:58,041
bought by the Jugend Rettet organization,
a group of young people

392
00:22:58,125 --> 00:23:01,375
who stand by their convictions
and want to venture into the Mediterranean

393
00:23:01,458 --> 00:23:04,583
in just four weeks to rescue refugees
in distress at sea.

394
00:23:04,666 --> 00:23:06,958
They've been renovating
the ship themselves

395
00:23:07,041 --> 00:23:08,250
for the past two months

396
00:23:08,333 --> 00:23:12,041
and their profound commitment has been
pulling at the heartstrings of the nation.

397
00:23:12,125 --> 00:23:12,958
Okay.

398
00:23:13,041 --> 00:23:16,208
We saw on Facebook that an awesome group
of young people were having issues

399
00:23:16,291 --> 00:23:18,750
with the electrical stuff,
so we're helping out

400
00:23:18,833 --> 00:23:20,000
It's for a good cause.

401
00:23:20,083 --> 00:23:21,708
And after all that hard work,

402
00:23:21,791 --> 00:23:24,291
the Iuventa is finally ready to set off
for Malta.

403
00:23:24,375 --> 00:23:26,000
Today's a big day for the mission.

404
00:23:26,083 --> 00:23:28,958
We hereby christen you Iuventa.

405
00:23:29,041 --> 00:23:31,541
-Jugend!
-Jugend! Jugend!

406
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,000
MALTA, JULY 2016

407
00:23:47,666 --> 00:23:49,458
All right. Watch your heads.

408
00:23:49,541 --> 00:23:51,416
Hey, watch your head.

409
00:23:51,500 --> 00:23:54,583
All right, slow down. Down there.

410
00:23:54,666 --> 00:23:56,958
Hey, um… I'm Maik.

411
00:23:57,041 --> 00:24:01,208
Uh, I just finished high school.
And, uh, I'm glad I got my diploma.

412
00:24:01,291 --> 00:24:04,166
But I guess that what matters more to me
than pursuing my studies

413
00:24:04,250 --> 00:24:05,583
is saving people's lives.

414
00:24:05,666 --> 00:24:07,375
That's why it's really
such a massive honor

415
00:24:07,458 --> 00:24:08,541
to be here with you.

416
00:24:08,625 --> 00:24:11,041
Plus, you're all really cool. Thank you.

417
00:24:11,666 --> 00:24:13,250
Next one!

418
00:24:13,333 --> 00:24:15,083
Hi. My name's Paula.

419
00:24:15,166 --> 00:24:19,291
I read on Facebook that you're looking
for someone who's fluent in Arabic.

420
00:24:19,375 --> 00:24:22,333
Well, I'm studying it,
and I think we need to be the change.

421
00:24:22,416 --> 00:24:23,500
Action is hope, right?

422
00:24:23,583 --> 00:24:27,041
Good. Hey, I'm Sören,
the head of mission on board.

423
00:24:27,125 --> 00:24:30,208
Gotta say, it feels a bit strange
that I'm the oldest one here.

424
00:24:30,291 --> 00:24:32,041
Before you contacted me,

425
00:24:32,125 --> 00:24:35,541
I was working on the Sea-Watch
and before that, on the Lesbos.

426
00:24:35,625 --> 00:24:38,833
I hope I can be of service to you
with my experience.

427
00:24:38,916 --> 00:24:41,458
I'm Viola, the captain.

428
00:24:41,541 --> 00:24:44,291
And, um, I was with Sören
on the Sea-Watch.

429
00:24:44,375 --> 00:24:48,625
My main source of income has been pushing
a 5,000-ton walker over the sea.

430
00:24:48,708 --> 00:24:50,708
I'm first officer
on a seniors' cruise ship.

431
00:24:50,791 --> 00:24:54,291
The thing is, I believe we can't just wish
for a just world and talk about it.

432
00:24:54,375 --> 00:24:57,000
You have to want to put those words
into action.

433
00:24:57,083 --> 00:24:58,625
-Hey!
-Oh! Hey!

434
00:24:58,708 --> 00:24:59,958
-Ah, Su!
-Hey, sorry I'm late.

435
00:25:00,041 --> 00:25:02,458
We're just doing the introduction round.
It's perfect timing.

436
00:25:02,541 --> 00:25:04,708
-Shoot!
-Oh, okay. Uh…

437
00:25:04,791 --> 00:25:08,375
Cool. Uh, so, I'm Su.

438
00:25:08,458 --> 00:25:10,583
I, uh, sorry I missed some introductions.

439
00:25:10,666 --> 00:25:12,416
Looking forward
to getting to know you all.

440
00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:15,833
Next year, I'm starting a residency
as an orthopedist.

441
00:25:15,916 --> 00:25:19,458
And meanwhile, I will serve
as an onboard doctor on the Iuventa.

442
00:25:23,250 --> 00:25:25,625
Bye! Take care of yourselves!

443
00:25:29,041 --> 00:25:30,666
You've got this!

444
00:25:32,333 --> 00:25:34,791
-Well, at least the engine's working.
-Yeah.

445
00:25:34,875 --> 00:25:37,916
It's ancient, but on the flip side,
it was free.

446
00:25:41,291 --> 00:25:43,750
FIRST MISSION 2016
JULY 24

447
00:25:43,833 --> 00:25:46,250
DAY 1: 198 NAUTICAL MILES OFF LIBYA

448
00:25:46,333 --> 00:25:50,750
The sooner we start compression
and ventilation, the better the outcome.

449
00:25:50,833 --> 00:25:54,083
And you have to keep going
until he opens his eyes.

450
00:25:54,166 --> 00:25:56,833
Okay? So you press
and you give him ventilation.

451
00:25:56,916 --> 00:25:57,916
-Yeah.
-Okay.

452
00:25:58,500 --> 00:26:02,375
All right. One, two, three. One, two…

453
00:26:04,625 --> 00:26:06,750
-Oh…
-So glad I didn't have breakfast.

454
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,875
And you also have to remove
his T-shirt first.

455
00:26:09,958 --> 00:26:13,083
-Yeah, right. I, uh… Like this, right?
-Yup.

456
00:26:13,166 --> 00:26:17,458
-Okay.
-'Kay.

457
00:26:17,541 --> 00:26:20,000
-One, two, three, four, five--
-From 20, please.

458
00:26:20,083 --> 00:26:23,375
Uh… 27, 28, 29, 30. Go!

459
00:26:27,291 --> 00:26:29,291
Come here, come here.

460
00:26:31,833 --> 00:26:33,708
Come on, it wasn't that bad!

461
00:26:35,125 --> 00:26:38,500
So you see, you've also got compasses
in there, for bearings.

462
00:26:38,583 --> 00:26:40,750
Notice anything off?
Quickly tell the bridge.

463
00:26:40,833 --> 00:26:43,166
Lukas, how many degrees there?

464
00:26:43,666 --> 00:26:46,791
Uh… 85.

465
00:26:46,875 --> 00:26:49,500
That's correct.
Then you say, "Boat at 85 degrees,"

466
00:26:49,583 --> 00:26:51,458
while you point
your hand towards it, yeah?

467
00:26:51,541 --> 00:26:54,875
You have to keep your finger directly
on it from that point forward, okay?

468
00:26:54,958 --> 00:26:56,875
-Understood.
-Yeah?

469
00:26:56,958 --> 00:26:59,208
And what are rescue missions like for you?

470
00:26:59,291 --> 00:27:02,125
It's never the same, actually.
It's always different.

471
00:27:02,208 --> 00:27:04,708
But, I mean, they must affect you, right?

472
00:27:04,791 --> 00:27:08,583
I'm definitely not more optimistic,
to put it optimistically, I guess.

473
00:27:09,458 --> 00:27:11,375
Yeah, it gets to absolutely everyone.

474
00:27:11,458 --> 00:27:13,875
You're not the same person after.

475
00:27:19,791 --> 00:27:21,333
Let's go down first.

476
00:27:21,416 --> 00:27:23,375
Now, up. Up, up, up!

477
00:27:23,458 --> 00:27:25,958
Yeah, that's good.
Always keep it nice and taut, like this.

478
00:27:26,041 --> 00:27:30,083
Always keep that rope taut,
or you're gonna end up overboard.

479
00:27:30,166 --> 00:27:33,291
You'll fly right off. You'll go swimming.
Okay, please stop.

480
00:27:35,208 --> 00:27:37,875
All right. Try to save me now.

481
00:27:37,958 --> 00:27:40,000
Help! Help!

482
00:27:40,083 --> 00:27:41,458
Help!

483
00:27:42,166 --> 00:27:43,583
Help, help!

484
00:27:44,250 --> 00:27:45,958
Help! Help!

485
00:27:56,041 --> 00:27:59,250
Okay, okay. Never do what Lukas just did.

486
00:27:59,333 --> 00:28:01,000
Always go against your instincts.

487
00:28:01,083 --> 00:28:03,958
Throw a life jacket in the water
so the person can cling to it, understood?

488
00:28:04,041 --> 00:28:05,458
Yes.

489
00:28:05,541 --> 00:28:08,458
Tomorrow we'll get
to the 24-mile zone off Libya.

490
00:28:08,541 --> 00:28:09,708
This is it, guys.

491
00:28:09,791 --> 00:28:14,000
We could encounter rubber dinghies
transporting refugees at any time.

492
00:28:14,083 --> 00:28:16,125
Passengers are usually traumatized

493
00:28:16,208 --> 00:28:17,833
'cause they've been sitting there
for days,

494
00:28:17,916 --> 00:28:20,041
fighting for their lives
every single minute.

495
00:28:20,125 --> 00:28:23,791
Please know that there isn't
a single usual behavior to expect.

496
00:28:23,875 --> 00:28:24,708
Absolutely.

497
00:28:24,791 --> 00:28:26,541
When there's a rubber dinghy,

498
00:28:26,625 --> 00:28:29,958
engine fishermen are usually lurking
and waiting in the area.

499
00:28:30,041 --> 00:28:32,958
They get the engines back.
Soon as they get the chance,

500
00:28:33,041 --> 00:28:34,833
they dismantle them
and take off with them.

501
00:28:34,916 --> 00:28:37,666
If we do cross paths with them,
just focus on the rescue.

502
00:28:37,791 --> 00:28:39,750
We get everyone off,
we try to destroy the dinghy,

503
00:28:39,833 --> 00:28:43,708
but not if it puts our safety,
or the people we're rescuing, at risk.

504
00:28:43,791 --> 00:28:46,791
Moving on.
This is the so-called Libyan coast guard.

505
00:28:46,875 --> 00:28:49,625
They're… actually Libyan militia.

506
00:28:49,708 --> 00:28:51,875
And they're mostly young guys

507
00:28:51,958 --> 00:28:56,041
who've just fought in the civil war
and organize the escape boats.

508
00:28:56,125 --> 00:28:57,291
Armed, as you can see.

509
00:28:57,375 --> 00:28:59,500
They're aggressive and up for a fight.

510
00:28:59,583 --> 00:29:01,125
These guys are dangerous.

511
00:29:01,208 --> 00:29:02,666
Be super careful.

512
00:29:13,083 --> 00:29:17,625
Hey. I'm doing night watch tonight.

513
00:29:18,833 --> 00:29:21,666
It's so crazy. The sea's totally calm.

514
00:29:21,750 --> 00:29:23,666
It's pitch black.

515
00:29:23,750 --> 00:29:25,500
What are you up to?

516
00:29:27,708 --> 00:29:30,625
I've gotta work today. How are you guys?

517
00:29:33,166 --> 00:29:34,375
Pretty good.

518
00:29:35,625 --> 00:29:39,375
When we were starting all this
in Berlin, then renovating the ship,

519
00:29:39,458 --> 00:29:41,333
everything seemed so clear.

520
00:29:41,416 --> 00:29:43,541
We didn't question anything.

521
00:29:44,375 --> 00:29:46,791
But out here,
it feels completely different.

522
00:29:47,958 --> 00:29:49,875
Suddenly it all seems so real.

523
00:29:53,250 --> 00:29:56,500
We're really scared…
of messing up, you know?

524
00:30:02,041 --> 00:30:03,625
I totally get that.

525
00:30:05,250 --> 00:30:07,083
But you can count on each other.

526
00:30:07,625 --> 00:30:09,541
Together is always better.

527
00:30:15,375 --> 00:30:16,625
I miss you.

528
00:30:20,500 --> 00:30:23,041
I miss you too. A lot.

529
00:30:30,125 --> 00:30:35,250
FIRST MISSION 2016, 26 JULY, 5:23 A.M.
18 NAUTICAL MILES OFF THE COAST OF LIBYA

530
00:30:59,250 --> 00:31:01,125
Bridge to lookout.

531
00:31:01,208 --> 00:31:03,083
Lookout to Bridge, receiving.

532
00:31:03,166 --> 00:31:04,958
I see a boat, ten o'clock.

533
00:31:13,208 --> 00:31:14,875
Lukas, we're on. Let's go.

534
00:31:16,125 --> 00:31:19,083
Let's go. Good morning MRCC,
this is motor vessel Iuventa.

535
00:31:19,166 --> 00:31:23,458
I'm in position 33 degrees,
22.2 minutes north

536
00:31:23,541 --> 00:31:27,375
and 012 degrees, 21. 8 minutes east.

537
00:31:27,458 --> 00:31:31,291
I've spotted a boat in distress,
three miles south of our position.

538
00:31:38,750 --> 00:31:41,500
Pull it up. Up, up, up, up.

539
00:31:42,166 --> 00:31:43,500
Now we go out.

540
00:31:43,583 --> 00:31:45,375
Out, out, out, out.

541
00:31:45,458 --> 00:31:47,541
Slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly.

542
00:31:52,916 --> 00:31:55,333
-Okay.
-There they are. Call it in.

543
00:31:55,416 --> 00:31:57,208
Iuventa, Iuventa, Iuventa, RHIB.

544
00:31:57,291 --> 00:31:58,666
Iuventa, RHIB, Iuventa.

545
00:31:58,750 --> 00:32:00,791
Got a visual of the boat,
likely a rubber dinghy.

546
00:32:00,875 --> 00:32:03,916
Head count is unclear. We're approaching.

547
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,541
Copy, standing by.

548
00:32:21,666 --> 00:32:23,208
Slow down.

549
00:32:27,541 --> 00:32:28,916
Hello!

550
00:32:30,041 --> 00:32:31,416
Hello!

551
00:32:31,916 --> 00:32:34,708
We are from a European rescue vessel.

552
00:32:35,875 --> 00:32:36,875
Hello!

553
00:32:37,916 --> 00:32:39,375
We're here to help you.

554
00:32:40,375 --> 00:32:42,125
You're safe now.

555
00:32:42,916 --> 00:32:44,875
Calm down, you're safe now.

556
00:32:44,958 --> 00:32:47,250
We've come to help you.

557
00:32:47,333 --> 00:32:49,833
Is every… Is everything good?
Are you good?

558
00:32:50,833 --> 00:32:52,833
Is… is everyone all right?

559
00:32:52,916 --> 00:32:54,916
We'll come to you, okay?

560
00:32:56,166 --> 00:32:58,750
-Do you speak English?
-Yes.

561
00:32:58,833 --> 00:33:00,333
-What's your name?
-Lamin.

562
00:33:00,416 --> 00:33:02,125
Lamin? My name is Lukas.

563
00:33:02,208 --> 00:33:04,958
That's Mauro and that's Wanda.
We're gonna do this together now.

564
00:33:05,041 --> 00:33:06,375
-Okay?
-Yes.

565
00:33:06,458 --> 00:33:08,041
-Is anyone injured?
-No.

566
00:33:08,125 --> 00:33:09,791
How many women and children are on board?

567
00:33:10,875 --> 00:33:12,666
Six women and one baby.

568
00:33:12,750 --> 00:33:15,666
-Six women and one baby.
-There are six women and a baby on board.

569
00:33:15,750 --> 00:33:17,583
These are life vests.

570
00:33:17,666 --> 00:33:19,666
You put them over your head,

571
00:33:20,375 --> 00:33:24,291
then strap around
and make them really tight. Okay?

572
00:33:24,375 --> 00:33:26,833
We're gonna start handing them out now.

573
00:33:28,291 --> 00:33:30,291
-Okay?
-There you go.

574
00:33:30,375 --> 00:33:32,583
-Wait, wait, wait!
-No, wait!

575
00:33:32,666 --> 00:33:34,875
No fighting, please!

576
00:33:34,958 --> 00:33:37,958
We've got enough for everyone!
No fighting, please!

577
00:33:38,041 --> 00:33:40,125
-Let's pass them on to the back.
-Wait, stop!

578
00:33:40,208 --> 00:33:43,416
Please, pass them on to the back.
Hand them down, please.

579
00:33:43,500 --> 00:33:45,916
Hand them down. Hand them down, Lamin.

580
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,083
-Pass them to the back!
-No fighting!

581
00:33:48,166 --> 00:33:51,041
There's enough for everyone.

582
00:33:51,125 --> 00:33:53,625
Please hand them down, hand them down.

583
00:34:03,166 --> 00:34:05,083
Okay? Welcome on board.

584
00:34:05,166 --> 00:34:07,416
Hi, welcome on board.
Be careful, be careful!

585
00:34:07,500 --> 00:34:09,791
-Welcome. You're doing good.
-Watch your step.

586
00:34:09,875 --> 00:34:12,916
Okay, slowly, slowly. Nice.

587
00:34:16,291 --> 00:34:18,458
Welcome, welcome.

588
00:34:19,750 --> 00:34:22,166
-Hi, I'll help you.
-Okay, slowly, slowly.

589
00:34:22,250 --> 00:34:25,125
Are you okay? I'm the doctor, okay?
You can tell me whatever you need.

590
00:34:30,041 --> 00:34:33,083
Very good. Well done, everyone. Well done.

591
00:34:33,166 --> 00:34:34,333
One by one.

592
00:34:34,416 --> 00:34:36,375
-Very good.
-Wait, wait, there's a baby.

593
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,708
-What's your name?
-Rose.

594
00:34:39,791 --> 00:34:42,125
Rose, my name is Mauro.
And what's your baby's name?

595
00:34:43,208 --> 00:34:44,125
Pride.

596
00:34:44,208 --> 00:34:46,416
Okay so, Rose, I'll take Pride
only for one minute, okay?

597
00:34:46,500 --> 00:34:49,125
It's too dangerous for you to climb
on the vessel with him.

598
00:34:49,208 --> 00:34:51,000
Trust me, I'll take care of Pride.

599
00:34:57,083 --> 00:34:58,458
-Okay.
-Okay?

600
00:34:59,333 --> 00:35:00,250
Okay.

601
00:35:01,833 --> 00:35:03,333
I'll help you, okay?

602
00:35:08,041 --> 00:35:10,208
The mother,
and then we'll continue, all right?

603
00:35:13,166 --> 00:35:14,875
Your turn, okay?

604
00:35:14,958 --> 00:35:17,458
I'll help you over. Come on.

605
00:35:18,833 --> 00:35:20,250
Okay. She's really worried.

606
00:35:20,333 --> 00:35:22,666
I'm gonna take your baby
for a few seconds, okay?

607
00:35:22,750 --> 00:35:26,041
Wait, one second.
We need to wait for the baby to be safe.

608
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,875
Just wait for a second.

609
00:35:28,958 --> 00:35:31,416
You're safe. Everything's fine.

610
00:35:31,500 --> 00:35:33,291
There you go, I got you. I got you.

611
00:35:33,375 --> 00:35:35,083
-You can do it. Almost.
-We want to help.

612
00:35:35,166 --> 00:35:37,916
Everything's fine.
You're safe now, all right?

613
00:36:06,583 --> 00:36:07,916
-Paula.
-Yeah?

614
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,208
There's a boat.

615
00:36:09,916 --> 00:36:11,125
Sören from Maik.

616
00:36:12,083 --> 00:36:12,916
Yes?

617
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,916
Yeah, we see a boat coming.
I think they're engine fishermen.

618
00:36:17,041 --> 00:36:20,125
Okay, don't take unnecessary risks.
Come back, please.

619
00:36:20,208 --> 00:36:21,333
Okay, copy.

620
00:36:22,750 --> 00:36:24,125
-Ready?
-Yeah.

621
00:36:24,208 --> 00:36:26,125
-Okay, let's go.
-Whoa.

622
00:36:27,916 --> 00:36:30,416
Engine's gone! We sank it!
Nothing to take here!

623
00:36:38,625 --> 00:36:40,541
-You all right?
-Everything's fine.

624
00:36:40,625 --> 00:36:42,208
-On our way.
-Okay, great.

625
00:36:43,041 --> 00:36:46,166
You have a little wound here
caused by the fuel of the boat.

626
00:36:46,250 --> 00:36:49,833
So I'm gonna clean it, disinfect it,
and put a bandage on it, okay?

627
00:36:49,916 --> 00:36:51,958
It might hurt a little bit.

628
00:36:55,291 --> 00:36:56,291
Hey.

629
00:36:58,666 --> 00:37:00,916
-Thank you.
-Where are you from?

630
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,791
Nigeria. I'm from Nigeria.

631
00:37:04,875 --> 00:37:06,958
From small village.

632
00:37:07,041 --> 00:37:09,041
-Sorry.
-In the northeast.

633
00:37:09,125 --> 00:37:11,083
How old are you?

634
00:37:11,166 --> 00:37:12,541
Eighteen.

635
00:37:13,791 --> 00:37:15,166
And how old is he?

636
00:37:18,125 --> 00:37:20,500
Six months. And three days.

637
00:37:21,083 --> 00:37:22,083
Mm.

638
00:37:22,833 --> 00:37:26,000
And why did you… I mean,
why did you leave Nigeria?

639
00:37:29,833 --> 00:37:32,333
I was living in my village
when Boko Haram came.

640
00:37:33,083 --> 00:37:34,416
They are killing people.

641
00:37:34,500 --> 00:37:39,791
They come to the fields where we work
and rape the women and kill the men.

642
00:37:39,875 --> 00:37:43,541
So I was running from my village
to the city.

643
00:37:45,250 --> 00:37:46,833
But I had no house.

644
00:37:48,333 --> 00:37:50,041
So it was not easy there.

645
00:37:51,333 --> 00:37:54,166
What was the situation on the boat?

646
00:37:55,125 --> 00:37:56,625
Very scary.

647
00:37:56,708 --> 00:37:59,500
We were so many. We were squeezed.

648
00:37:59,583 --> 00:38:04,875
People are vomiting.
It was my first time at sea.

649
00:38:06,500 --> 00:38:08,000
You can't swim?

650
00:38:08,791 --> 00:38:11,541
No. Many of us cannot swim.

651
00:38:11,625 --> 00:38:13,500
It is just life or death.

652
00:38:16,208 --> 00:38:18,208
-And the sea is so big.
-Yeah.

653
00:38:18,291 --> 00:38:19,833
So, so big.

654
00:38:21,791 --> 00:38:23,375
And I was scared.

655
00:38:25,541 --> 00:38:29,000
And Pride cried.
And I just wanted him to live.

656
00:38:29,083 --> 00:38:31,291
You know, it's all I could think of.

657
00:38:45,250 --> 00:38:48,791
Okay, everyone.
Can I have your attention for a moment?

658
00:38:50,041 --> 00:38:52,708
There's a small boat approaching
on that side

659
00:38:52,791 --> 00:38:56,375
that will take you to a much bigger boat
from the Italian coast guard.

660
00:38:56,458 --> 00:38:59,833
They will take care of you,
bring you to safety, and to Italy.

661
00:38:59,916 --> 00:39:03,750
Because we only rescue,
but they will bring you to Europe, okay?

662
00:39:03,833 --> 00:39:04,833
Thank you.

663
00:39:10,625 --> 00:39:13,625
-Thank you for your help on the boat.
-You're welcome.

664
00:39:13,708 --> 00:39:16,375
Thank you for your help.

665
00:39:16,958 --> 00:39:19,833
It was my first, uh, time, you know?

666
00:39:19,916 --> 00:39:21,708
You did a great job.

667
00:39:21,791 --> 00:39:23,666
We all did, we all did.

668
00:39:24,500 --> 00:39:26,583
How long have you been traveling?

669
00:39:27,500 --> 00:39:29,208
I traveled for three years.

670
00:39:29,291 --> 00:39:32,333
And… why did you leave?

671
00:39:33,583 --> 00:39:35,333
My father is very ill.

672
00:39:35,416 --> 00:39:40,583
He lost his job,
and we have no money for food.

673
00:39:40,666 --> 00:39:42,166
No money for medicine.

674
00:39:43,458 --> 00:39:46,666
You know, I wanted to be educated.

675
00:39:47,250 --> 00:39:49,500
I wanted to be a very educated man.

676
00:39:49,583 --> 00:39:50,791
That's my plan.

677
00:39:51,291 --> 00:39:53,916
I am praying to God that it will happen.

678
00:39:54,791 --> 00:39:56,333
And you traveled all by yourself?

679
00:39:56,416 --> 00:39:59,041
No, I traveled with a friend.

680
00:40:00,041 --> 00:40:02,250
And… is he here now?

681
00:40:03,958 --> 00:40:05,166
He's dead.

682
00:40:05,958 --> 00:40:08,291
We worked in a gold mine in Burkina Faso.

683
00:40:08,958 --> 00:40:11,458
It was very hot. Fifty degrees.

684
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,541
Many people died.

685
00:40:18,208 --> 00:40:21,750
But you have a good job here on board.

686
00:40:22,416 --> 00:40:26,708
You do good. You travel. You get paid.

687
00:40:26,791 --> 00:40:28,916
No, no, we're not getting paid.

688
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,041
-You don't get paid?
-No.

689
00:40:31,125 --> 00:40:35,041
Oh. Then it's a… it's a shitty job.

690
00:40:36,625 --> 00:40:38,666
Yeah, I guess it's a shitty job, then.

691
00:40:38,750 --> 00:40:40,666
Only joking.

692
00:40:40,750 --> 00:40:43,166
You saved our lives.

693
00:40:44,875 --> 00:40:46,208
It's a good job.

694
00:40:52,875 --> 00:40:54,791
One big step.

695
00:40:54,875 --> 00:40:56,625
-Yes, that's it.
-Thank you.

696
00:40:56,708 --> 00:40:58,833
-Goodbye, man.
-Thank you.

697
00:41:00,666 --> 00:41:03,500
-Can you please hold Pride for me?
-Of course.

698
00:41:06,666 --> 00:41:09,041
-I'll help you over, okay?
-Thank you.

699
00:41:09,958 --> 00:41:11,125
Well done.

700
00:41:11,791 --> 00:41:15,166
Be careful with his head. Careful.

701
00:41:22,583 --> 00:41:24,333
-Take care.
-Goodbye.

702
00:41:26,916 --> 00:41:29,125
-Goodbye.
-Goodbye, Lukas.

703
00:41:29,666 --> 00:41:31,333
-Lukas.
-Yes?

704
00:41:32,958 --> 00:41:34,416
Please have this.

705
00:41:35,083 --> 00:41:37,458
Thank you. Thank you so much.

706
00:41:37,541 --> 00:41:38,833
Thank you, Lukas.

707
00:41:38,916 --> 00:41:40,375
Now you are my friend.

708
00:41:42,041 --> 00:41:44,333
-Take care.
-Bye, Lukas.

709
00:43:23,875 --> 00:43:26,125
-Whoo!
-This is great.

710
00:43:49,458 --> 00:43:50,875
Today on the boat…

711
00:43:54,625 --> 00:43:59,250
that moment I held Rose's baby… Pride.

712
00:43:59,750 --> 00:44:02,916
It's like
the weight of the world was on me.

713
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:04,166
You know?

714
00:44:05,250 --> 00:44:09,041
It's the first time in my life
I held a baby. What a feeling.

715
00:44:11,375 --> 00:44:13,625
I was constantly telling myself,

716
00:44:14,875 --> 00:44:16,666
"Do not drop it, Mauro."

717
00:44:18,041 --> 00:44:20,166
"Protect Pride with your life."

718
00:44:21,333 --> 00:44:24,458
"You'll never do anything
more important than this."

719
00:44:35,958 --> 00:44:38,125
FIRST MISSION 2016
JULY 29, DAY 06

720
00:44:38,208 --> 00:44:40,041
30 NAUTICAL MILES OFF LIBYA

721
00:44:40,541 --> 00:44:44,583
If you want to say something like,
"My name's Paula" or "I'm Lukas or Maik,"

722
00:44:44,666 --> 00:44:46,833
then you say, "Ana Paula."

723
00:44:46,916 --> 00:44:48,125
-Ana…
-Ana Lukas.

724
00:44:48,208 --> 00:44:49,041
Ana Mauro.

725
00:44:49,125 --> 00:44:50,375
-Ana Maik.
-"Ana Maik," yeah.

726
00:44:50,458 --> 00:44:52,250
Welcome.

727
00:44:55,750 --> 00:44:56,750
Welcome.

728
00:44:56,833 --> 00:44:57,875
I'm Marietta.

729
00:44:57,958 --> 00:44:59,083
-Marietta?
-Yes.

730
00:44:59,166 --> 00:45:00,583
-That's a beautiful name.
-Thank you.

731
00:45:00,666 --> 00:45:02,541
Nice to meet you. Hey, I'm Sören.

732
00:45:02,625 --> 00:45:05,208
Boat at 135 degrees!

733
00:45:05,291 --> 00:45:08,916
We see the boat.
Straight ahead, two o'clock.

734
00:45:14,916 --> 00:45:17,500
I'm born in Eritrea.

735
00:45:17,583 --> 00:45:23,625
But I had to leave
after… my family was killed by government.

736
00:45:23,708 --> 00:45:27,041
But in Sudan, they say
I have to marry a very old man.

737
00:45:27,125 --> 00:45:29,791
Very older than me.

738
00:45:29,875 --> 00:45:34,208
So… I decide to flee again.

739
00:45:56,250 --> 00:45:58,083
Look! Dolphins!

740
00:45:58,166 --> 00:46:00,000
-No way!
-Yes!

741
00:46:00,916 --> 00:46:02,250
-No!
-Yeah!

742
00:46:02,333 --> 00:46:04,083
God damn!

743
00:46:04,166 --> 00:46:05,708
Good morning, Iuventa.

744
00:46:05,791 --> 00:46:07,791
We have the first sighting of the day.

745
00:46:07,875 --> 00:46:09,833
It is a blue wooden boat.

746
00:46:09,916 --> 00:46:14,583
You can go on the longitude.
I'm waiting for… waiting for my orders.

747
00:46:14,666 --> 00:46:16,250
We'll proceed with the rescue.

748
00:46:16,333 --> 00:46:17,833
-Perfect. Thank you.
-Thank you.

749
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,416
-One, two, three.
-I'm done.

750
00:46:24,500 --> 00:46:26,250
Mwah. I love you.

751
00:46:26,333 --> 00:46:28,333
That one looks like Mauro!

752
00:46:32,125 --> 00:46:34,833
You all right? Stay safe.

753
00:46:34,916 --> 00:46:37,291
-Bye, all the best.
-Bye, all the best, all right? Okay?

754
00:47:19,750 --> 00:47:21,916
Pass the woman over to us, okay?

755
00:47:24,916 --> 00:47:27,833
-Okay, carefully, carefully.
-No, Fatima!

756
00:47:27,916 --> 00:47:29,083
Careful, please.

757
00:47:29,166 --> 00:47:30,250
Fatima!

758
00:47:34,333 --> 00:47:36,125
Okay, go back, go back!

759
00:47:41,458 --> 00:47:43,458
No, no, go back. Go back, please.

760
00:47:43,541 --> 00:47:46,250
Go back. Please stay calm.
Everybody, stay calm.

761
00:47:46,333 --> 00:47:49,500
You've got your life vests.
Hold on to them, okay?

762
00:47:49,583 --> 00:47:51,625
Hold on to them and go back to the boat.

763
00:47:51,708 --> 00:47:54,833
Please, stay calm, okay?
The life vests help you.

764
00:47:54,916 --> 00:47:57,125
You're safe, but you have to go back.

765
00:48:03,416 --> 00:48:04,750
Okay.

766
00:48:08,375 --> 00:48:09,666
Contact!

767
00:48:14,583 --> 00:48:15,625
What's her name?

768
00:48:15,708 --> 00:48:17,458
Fatima, Fatima!

769
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:19,125
Fatima.

770
00:48:19,708 --> 00:48:22,625
-We cannot take you. Sorry--
-No, I have to stay with her!

771
00:48:22,708 --> 00:48:25,333
We're gonna take her to a bigger ship
and then to a doctor, okay?

772
00:48:25,416 --> 00:48:28,083
-I'm her brother!
-We're gonna come back. I promise.

773
00:48:28,166 --> 00:48:29,666
No!

774
00:48:29,750 --> 00:48:31,875
No!

775
00:48:31,958 --> 00:48:33,750
Iuventa, RHIB.

776
00:48:33,833 --> 00:48:35,208
We have two people on board,

777
00:48:35,291 --> 00:48:37,791
one unconscious,
and we've started resuscitation.

778
00:48:37,875 --> 00:48:40,791
Roger that. We'll prepare everything.
I'll give Su a heads-up.

779
00:48:40,875 --> 00:48:42,125
Hang in there.

780
00:48:44,833 --> 00:48:50,083
22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.

781
00:48:51,833 --> 00:48:53,500
-Go.
-One, two, three…

782
00:48:57,916 --> 00:49:00,708
…26, 27, 28, 29, 30.

783
00:49:02,333 --> 00:49:04,333
-She's not breathing. It's not working!
-Wait!

784
00:49:04,416 --> 00:49:05,833
It's not working!

785
00:49:13,750 --> 00:49:15,583
Go, go, go, go, go!

786
00:49:17,750 --> 00:49:20,666
One, two, three, four, five…

787
00:49:21,666 --> 00:49:23,041
Ten.

788
00:49:23,625 --> 00:49:24,958
Fifteen.

789
00:49:25,791 --> 00:49:26,791
Twenty…

790
00:49:27,500 --> 00:49:30,708
25, 26, 27, 8, 9, 10. Go!

791
00:49:39,041 --> 00:49:40,333
Do one more.

792
00:49:52,083 --> 00:49:53,041
Lukas.

793
00:49:53,125 --> 00:49:55,250
-Five.
-It's over.

794
00:49:55,333 --> 00:49:57,666
-Ten.
-Hey. Lukas.

795
00:49:57,750 --> 00:49:58,833
Fifteen.

796
00:49:58,916 --> 00:50:00,166
-Hey, Lukas.
-Twenty.

797
00:50:00,250 --> 00:50:02,583
-Lukas. Lukas?
-Twenty-five.

798
00:50:02,666 --> 00:50:04,333
Lukas? Lukas, please, Lukas.

799
00:50:04,416 --> 00:50:05,833
-Thirty.
-Hey, hey…

800
00:50:05,916 --> 00:50:08,958
-Lukas, it's not helping.
-Lukas! Lukas.

801
00:50:09,041 --> 00:50:10,750
It's over. Okay?

802
00:50:10,833 --> 00:50:12,041
She's dead.

803
00:50:14,083 --> 00:50:15,583
She's dead.

804
00:50:36,833 --> 00:50:39,791
You couldn't have saved her, Lukas.

805
00:50:42,708 --> 00:50:48,416
It doesn't make it less painful,
I know, but you couldn't have saved her.

806
00:50:50,208 --> 00:50:54,583
She was already gone
when you brought her on the boat.

807
00:50:56,708 --> 00:50:58,208
You know that, right?

808
00:51:01,833 --> 00:51:02,833
Hey.

809
00:51:05,916 --> 00:51:08,875
It's really important that you know that.

810
00:51:21,333 --> 00:51:24,041
END OF THE FIRST MISSION
BERLIN, 16 AUGUST 2016

811
00:51:24,125 --> 00:51:25,958
CREW CHANGE ON THE IUVENTA

812
00:51:26,041 --> 00:51:28,791
-Hi.
-You're back!

813
00:51:28,875 --> 00:51:30,625
-Oh my gosh!
-Good to see you!

814
00:51:30,708 --> 00:51:32,041
It's so good to see you!

815
00:51:55,166 --> 00:51:56,625
It feels so absurd

816
00:51:56,708 --> 00:51:59,333
that the weather's
always so beautiful down there.

817
00:52:01,541 --> 00:52:04,458
The sun shines so bright.
The sea's totally calm.

818
00:52:06,541 --> 00:52:08,708
At night it's completely quiet.

819
00:52:11,583 --> 00:52:14,416
And you just sit there, knowing

820
00:52:14,958 --> 00:52:17,916
the rubber dinghies are going out
to sea at that moment.

821
00:52:20,666 --> 00:52:22,875
The people we meet have often gone
through an odyssey

822
00:52:22,958 --> 00:52:24,875
that's lasted for years.

823
00:52:27,625 --> 00:52:29,708
They come to us on the Iuventa.

824
00:52:31,166 --> 00:52:32,708
And they kiss the deck.

825
00:52:33,750 --> 00:52:35,958
They lift their arms to the sky.

826
00:52:37,166 --> 00:52:39,333
They're just so delighted.

827
00:52:41,458 --> 00:52:44,333
-They're thrilled they're finally safe.
-Mm.

828
00:52:47,416 --> 00:52:50,375
But we know it's far from over
for them at that point.

829
00:52:54,583 --> 00:52:56,958
You can't tell them, though.
It's not the time to.

830
00:54:15,083 --> 00:54:16,750
We are from Europe.

831
00:54:16,833 --> 00:54:20,375
We're here to help you. You're safe now!

832
00:54:24,083 --> 00:54:25,750
Is everyone all right?

833
00:54:26,541 --> 00:54:28,500
-No, wait! No fighting!
-Wait!

834
00:54:28,583 --> 00:54:31,708
We've got enough for everyone.
No fighting, please!

835
00:54:31,791 --> 00:54:33,750
Go back, go back! What's her name?

836
00:54:33,833 --> 00:54:35,625
No, Fatima!

837
00:54:35,708 --> 00:54:37,750
-Fatima!
-Please, please.

838
00:54:37,833 --> 00:54:39,166
-Go!
-Lukas!

839
00:54:39,250 --> 00:54:40,916
Go! Go!

840
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:44,541
-Where are you taking her?
-We cannot, we cannot take you!

841
00:54:44,625 --> 00:54:47,208
-I'm her brother!
-We're gonna come back, promise!

842
00:54:47,291 --> 00:54:49,291
-She's dead.
-No!

843
00:55:49,458 --> 00:55:55,000
I'm here with Lukas, Nina,
Domi, and Mauro from Jugend Rettet.

844
00:55:55,083 --> 00:55:58,958
I really want us to go over how people
can get involved with the cause.

845
00:55:59,041 --> 00:56:01,541
But before we do, I'd like us to find out

846
00:56:01,625 --> 00:56:04,750
what our listeners' thoughts are
on what you're doing.

847
00:56:04,833 --> 00:56:07,750
Isn't it normal to save these poor folks?

848
00:56:07,833 --> 00:56:10,375
Should we be ashamed of questioning that?

849
00:56:10,458 --> 00:56:14,250
Joining us on the phone,
I have Christian from Schöneberg.

850
00:56:14,333 --> 00:56:15,583
Yeah, hi! Um…

851
00:56:15,666 --> 00:56:19,041
Let me start by saying
that I really appreciate you all helping.

852
00:56:19,125 --> 00:56:20,416
The thing that I'm not getting

853
00:56:20,500 --> 00:56:23,791
is why aren't you taking
these people back to Africa?

854
00:56:23,875 --> 00:56:26,625
-Why do they all end up in Europe?
-You take it.

855
00:56:27,208 --> 00:56:29,458
Well, according to
the Geneva Refugee Convention,

856
00:56:29,541 --> 00:56:32,416
we're not allowed to return anyone
to an unsafe country.

857
00:56:32,500 --> 00:56:34,500
Libya is an unsafe country,
and we would've gone

858
00:56:34,583 --> 00:56:36,208
against the law had we done so.

859
00:56:36,291 --> 00:56:39,166
Honestly, it's not just
that it's against the law.

860
00:56:39,250 --> 00:56:40,833
They would get thrown into prison,

861
00:56:40,916 --> 00:56:43,291
tortured, and would possibly die
if we took them back.

862
00:56:43,375 --> 00:56:46,458
All right, but why not
take them to some other African country

863
00:56:46,541 --> 00:56:47,666
where they'd be safe?

864
00:56:47,750 --> 00:56:49,916
I just don't understand
why they all have to come here.

865
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,291
'Cause Germany offers
the right to asylum, Christian.

866
00:56:52,375 --> 00:56:55,166
Yeah, but that
doesn't make it okay to take everyone in.

867
00:56:55,250 --> 00:56:58,333
Our problems won't get any better
if we take in more migrants.

868
00:56:58,416 --> 00:57:00,250
-Tell me, Christian?
-Yes?

869
00:57:00,333 --> 00:57:01,541
What scares you exactly?

870
00:57:01,625 --> 00:57:03,500
Not feeling comfortable in my country,

871
00:57:03,583 --> 00:57:05,583
letting criminals in,
and my children not being safe.

872
00:57:05,666 --> 00:57:08,625
I'm afraid we won't be able to handle
the added pressure as a country.

873
00:57:08,708 --> 00:57:11,541
I mean, I think it's great
and all that you're helping people

874
00:57:11,625 --> 00:57:15,416
in the Mediterranean, but you're certainly
not helping people in Germany.

875
00:57:15,500 --> 00:57:17,083
That's what I think. Nice talking to you.

876
00:57:17,166 --> 00:57:18,916
-Christian--
-Bye.

877
00:57:26,750 --> 00:57:29,791
THIRD MISSION 2016, 29 SEPTEMBER, DAY 09
INTERNATIONAL WATERS OFF LIBYA

878
00:57:29,875 --> 00:57:33,125
Okay, so we should all be
at 65 degrees now.

879
00:57:33,208 --> 00:57:34,541
-Yeah?
-Yes.

880
00:57:34,625 --> 00:57:38,125
65 degrees is the bearing
you would give to the bridge.

881
00:57:38,208 --> 00:57:39,041
-Okay?
-Yeah.

882
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,000
Sören, can you please come to the bridge?

883
00:57:58,958 --> 00:58:01,791
Hang on. Wait.
I'll call you back, all right?

884
00:58:03,666 --> 00:58:04,500
Yeah?

885
00:58:04,583 --> 00:58:08,125
Yeah, a speedboat is approaching us.
Way too fast from the south.

886
00:58:08,208 --> 00:58:09,916
No idea who it is. They're not answering.

887
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,750
-Uh, are they militia?
-Maybe. We don't know.

888
00:58:12,833 --> 00:58:14,333
We've begun the lockdown procedure.

889
00:58:14,416 --> 00:58:16,416
Su is escorting everyone
to the engine room.

890
00:58:16,500 --> 00:58:17,666
I'm going on deck now.

891
00:58:17,750 --> 00:58:20,458
De-escalation.
You mind staying on the line?

892
00:58:20,541 --> 00:58:21,833
Of course, yeah.

893
00:58:25,791 --> 00:58:29,083
We do it the way we trained.
We stay in the engine room and wait.

894
00:58:29,166 --> 00:58:30,666
We won't risk anything.

895
00:58:31,750 --> 00:58:33,000
Come on, go.

896
00:58:35,375 --> 00:58:36,583
Engine room.

897
00:58:43,708 --> 00:58:45,916
Shit, Viola. They look armed.

898
00:58:46,791 --> 00:58:49,166
All stations, all stations, all stations.

899
00:58:49,250 --> 00:58:51,625
This is Iuventa, Iuventa, Iuventa.

900
00:58:51,708 --> 00:58:54,208
I am 15 miles northwest from Tripoli.

901
00:58:54,291 --> 00:58:56,916
I have a pirate attack.
I repeat, I have a pirate attack.

902
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:58,208
I need urgent help.

903
00:58:58,291 --> 00:59:00,125
Slow down!

904
00:59:00,208 --> 00:59:02,458
Hey, slow down!

905
00:59:04,250 --> 00:59:07,333
Hey, no shooting! No! No shooting.

906
00:59:07,416 --> 00:59:08,833
Please, no shooting.

907
00:59:08,916 --> 00:59:10,416
We do search and rescue.

908
00:59:10,500 --> 00:59:13,791
We do search and rescue.
We have… We don't have a problem.

909
00:59:16,125 --> 00:59:20,083
Please. We do search
and rescue. We're… We're friendly.

910
00:59:20,166 --> 00:59:22,916
We have no problem here.
Everything is fine here.

911
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:24,791
-What do you want?
-Yes.

912
00:59:26,208 --> 00:59:27,583
-Everything is fine.
-Where is crew?

913
00:59:27,666 --> 00:59:30,125
Everything is fine.

914
00:59:30,208 --> 00:59:31,916
Hey! Come on, stop. Come on, stop!

915
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:33,666
What do you want?

916
00:59:33,750 --> 00:59:36,125
Come on, come down.
We're staying here, okay?

917
00:59:36,208 --> 00:59:37,541
Watch your head. Be careful.

918
00:59:37,625 --> 00:59:39,125
The engine is really hot.

919
00:59:40,375 --> 00:59:41,875
Where are the others?

920
00:59:45,250 --> 00:59:47,583
Hey, why are you doing this?

921
00:59:47,666 --> 00:59:49,291
There's no one here, okay?

922
00:59:51,791 --> 00:59:54,291
It's all right, okay?

923
00:59:58,375 --> 01:00:02,750
Please don't. Stop. Hey! Hey!

924
01:00:02,833 --> 01:00:05,083
Please, please be calm.
Please be calm.

925
01:00:07,958 --> 01:00:09,083
Crew.

926
01:00:09,166 --> 01:00:10,833
Crew. Where's crew?

927
01:00:13,625 --> 01:00:15,666
Okay. My name is Su.

928
01:00:15,750 --> 01:00:17,250
My name is Su.

929
01:00:17,333 --> 01:00:20,083
I'm the doctor on this vessel.
Please! I'm the doctor, leave them!

930
01:00:21,958 --> 01:00:24,708
Iuventa, Iuventa, Iuventa.
Armed groups are boarding our ship.

931
01:00:26,583 --> 01:00:30,041
We are a search and rescue organization.
We're here to save people at sea.

932
01:00:30,125 --> 01:00:32,333
-Viola?
-We're peaceful. We help people.

933
01:00:32,416 --> 01:00:34,875
Sören?

934
01:00:34,958 --> 01:00:38,333
-Hey! We are a rescue mission.
-Walk! Walk!

935
01:00:38,416 --> 01:00:39,541
-Hey!
-Move.

936
01:00:39,625 --> 01:00:41,708
-Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
-Stand aside!

937
01:00:41,791 --> 01:00:43,708
Passports. Give me passports.

938
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:50,416
This is national water.

939
01:00:50,500 --> 01:00:53,541
This is international waters.
You can't just board my ship like this.

940
01:00:53,625 --> 01:00:55,250
-We did nothing wrong.
-No!

941
01:00:57,791 --> 01:01:01,708
-This is Libyan country. No rescue here.
-This is international waters!

942
01:01:11,375 --> 01:01:14,541
As long as I see Libyan mountains,
this is my water.

943
01:01:15,375 --> 01:01:18,708
Next time we see you, we arrest you.
And we'll bring you to jail.

944
01:01:19,208 --> 01:01:22,000
Next time we see you in our water,
we sink this ship.

945
01:01:22,083 --> 01:01:23,375
You understand?

946
01:01:24,166 --> 01:01:28,208
Understood.

947
01:01:59,666 --> 01:02:01,291
So, I talked to the crew.

948
01:02:01,375 --> 01:02:04,583
We took a vote,
and we would all like to continue.

949
01:02:06,041 --> 01:02:08,666
I hear you, but this is
not your decision alone.

950
01:02:08,750 --> 01:02:10,541
We can't risk a situation
like this happening.

951
01:02:10,625 --> 01:02:12,250
I mean, they were armed.

952
01:02:12,333 --> 01:02:14,458
Lukas, we're aware of that. We were here.

953
01:02:14,541 --> 01:02:17,875
We just think you should take a break
for a couple of weeks, that's all.

954
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,750
And we'll do a new danger assessment
and adjust.

955
01:02:20,833 --> 01:02:23,166
What about those people in Libya
getting on boats tonight?

956
01:02:23,250 --> 01:02:25,583
-I bet they want a break.
-Drop the attitude, Viola.

957
01:02:25,666 --> 01:02:26,625
We were down there too.

958
01:02:26,708 --> 01:02:28,833
You're not the only one
who knows how bad it is.

959
01:02:28,916 --> 01:02:31,541
If we stay on mission,
it'll send the right message.

960
01:02:31,625 --> 01:02:34,375
That they can't intimidate us.
Or else, they've won.

961
01:02:34,458 --> 01:02:35,875
You understand me?

962
01:02:38,583 --> 01:02:39,958
It's your choice.

963
01:02:46,916 --> 01:02:48,333
Okay. We'll go back to Malta,

964
01:02:48,416 --> 01:02:50,791
take a break,
and prepare for the next mission.

965
01:02:52,583 --> 01:02:54,666
Okay.

966
01:02:55,750 --> 01:02:57,208
We'll have to go with that.

967
01:02:57,291 --> 01:02:58,291
Yup.

968
01:02:58,375 --> 01:03:00,541
So that's the signal you want to send?

969
01:03:00,625 --> 01:03:02,291
At least you're not in danger.

970
01:03:12,583 --> 01:03:14,291
That's Chimamanda Ngozi's

971
01:03:14,375 --> 01:03:16,666
whole point
in "The Danger of a Single Story."

972
01:03:16,750 --> 01:03:20,458
If you pigeonhole certain people
into a category, say poor, uneducated,

973
01:03:20,541 --> 01:03:24,375
or powerless, and you reinforce it…
you know, by saying it over and over,

974
01:03:24,458 --> 01:03:26,166
you start seeing it as fact.

975
01:03:26,250 --> 01:03:31,166
The thing is… storytelling has the power
to influence our views on people.

976
01:03:31,875 --> 01:03:33,958
I've got another example, 'kay?

977
01:03:34,041 --> 01:03:35,583
Take the history of America.

978
01:03:35,666 --> 01:03:37,833
Instead of focusing
on Christopher Columbus,

979
01:03:37,916 --> 01:03:41,125
we talk about Native Americans,
the story's totally different.

980
01:03:43,458 --> 01:03:44,458
You there?

981
01:03:54,500 --> 01:03:56,083
Lukas!

982
01:03:56,166 --> 01:03:57,833
-My friend!
-Lamin!

983
01:03:58,958 --> 01:04:00,333
How… How are you?

984
01:04:00,416 --> 01:04:03,625
Uh, sorry. Uh… I…
I've gotta take this. Wait.

985
01:04:05,625 --> 01:04:06,625
Lamin!

986
01:04:08,583 --> 01:04:11,583
Oh, the… the connection is really bad.
Should we switch to audio?

987
01:04:11,666 --> 01:04:14,000
-Yes, yes.
-Yeah.

988
01:04:15,041 --> 01:04:17,291
How… How did you find me?

989
01:04:17,375 --> 01:04:19,125
You are on Facebook.

990
01:04:19,208 --> 01:04:21,291
Oh, right.

991
01:04:21,375 --> 01:04:25,125
But, uh… how are you? Where are you now?

992
01:04:25,208 --> 01:04:27,958
I'm in Konstanz.

993
01:04:29,166 --> 01:04:30,166
What?

994
01:04:30,250 --> 01:04:32,541
I'm in Konstanz.

995
01:04:33,125 --> 01:04:36,083
-No way, you're not.
-Yes!

996
01:04:37,666 --> 01:04:39,583
How did you get all the way there?

997
01:04:39,666 --> 01:04:42,750
In Italy, they put me in place for minors.

998
01:04:42,833 --> 01:04:45,125
In Salerno, in small village.

999
01:04:45,208 --> 01:04:49,125
So, I asked if there is a possibility
for me to go to school.

1000
01:04:49,208 --> 01:04:51,791
You know, that was in my mind.
To be educated.

1001
01:04:52,500 --> 01:04:56,500
But they told me, it's a small village,
they don't have a school.

1002
01:04:56,583 --> 01:05:01,000
So, I got information in Germany
that you can go to school.

1003
01:05:01,083 --> 01:05:03,416
So, my plan is, "only Germany."

1004
01:05:03,500 --> 01:05:06,666
I don't go anywhere, only Germany.
I'm going.

1005
01:05:06,750 --> 01:05:09,625
-So you just went to Germany?
-Yes!

1006
01:05:09,750 --> 01:05:11,625
Really? But how?

1007
01:05:11,708 --> 01:05:13,000
I go on train.

1008
01:05:13,083 --> 01:05:15,541
And sometimes, they said
I have to leave train

1009
01:05:15,625 --> 01:05:16,833
because I have no ticket.

1010
01:05:17,458 --> 01:05:19,958
And one moment, I decided to walk.

1011
01:05:20,041 --> 01:05:21,833
You walked to Germany?

1012
01:05:21,916 --> 01:05:23,375
Yeah! Yeah!

1013
01:05:23,458 --> 01:05:27,791
I walked and walked.
And one moment, I saw, you know,

1014
01:05:27,875 --> 01:05:30,708
I saw cars with the D, the D sticker.

1015
01:05:30,791 --> 01:05:34,541
Police came. I asked, "Am I in Germany?"

1016
01:05:34,625 --> 01:05:38,791
And they were really friendly
and said, "Yes, you are in Germany."

1017
01:05:38,875 --> 01:05:39,708
Incredible.

1018
01:05:40,583 --> 01:05:41,750
That's so incredible.

1019
01:05:41,833 --> 01:05:46,583
I called my mother, and she cried
because she thought I am dead.

1020
01:05:47,708 --> 01:05:50,125
But now, they are really happy.

1021
01:05:50,208 --> 01:05:51,958
Really happy.

1022
01:05:53,375 --> 01:05:54,833
And you, my friend?

1023
01:05:54,916 --> 01:05:58,541
How are you?
You still have this shitty job?

1024
01:05:59,583 --> 01:06:02,875
Uh, yeah. I still have the shitty job.

1025
01:06:02,958 --> 01:06:04,916
Um, but it's okay.

1026
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:08,000
I am just joking, my friend. You know?

1027
01:06:08,083 --> 01:06:10,041
No, I know.

1028
01:06:10,125 --> 01:06:12,083
I know. I know.

1029
01:06:12,166 --> 01:06:15,000
Hey, you still have the bracelet?

1030
01:06:15,083 --> 01:06:16,208
Yeah. Yes, yeah.

1031
01:06:16,291 --> 01:06:18,958
I have it with me all the time.
I wear it every day.

1032
01:06:19,916 --> 01:06:22,166
It is so good to hear you.

1033
01:06:22,250 --> 01:06:25,416
Ah, Lamin, it… it's so good
to hear your voice.

1034
01:06:25,500 --> 01:06:29,583
Really. I mean it.
It's so good to hear you.

1035
01:06:37,583 --> 01:06:39,750
-Hey.
-Hey.

1036
01:06:41,958 --> 01:06:43,375
Where's Kitty?

1037
01:06:43,458 --> 01:06:45,250
She's taking some time.

1038
01:06:50,250 --> 01:06:51,666
It's hard for you guys?

1039
01:06:52,875 --> 01:06:53,875
Mm-hmm.

1040
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:59,833
I guess we're just
in two different worlds these days.

1041
01:07:06,291 --> 01:07:07,708
You all right?

1042
01:07:08,750 --> 01:07:11,041
Yeah, kind of exhausted.

1043
01:07:11,125 --> 01:07:15,833
It's like I thought that having this ship
meant our problems would be solved.

1044
01:07:17,750 --> 01:07:20,708
Yeah.

1045
01:07:25,958 --> 01:07:28,541
-Is Mauro sleeping?
-Yeah.

1046
01:07:29,708 --> 01:07:33,250
Or at least he's trying.
He's not doing too good.

1047
01:07:34,791 --> 01:07:38,750
Were you aware that he'd hide
in the engine room to cry every day?

1048
01:07:41,791 --> 01:07:43,833
But he was looking forward
to the next mission.

1049
01:07:43,916 --> 01:07:45,875
And I thought it might be good for him.

1050
01:07:47,958 --> 01:07:49,875
It's like he can't move on.

1051
01:07:59,708 --> 01:08:02,000
That's too bad, your donation
would have been a great help.

1052
01:08:02,083 --> 01:08:04,458
Domi. Please include
these expenses, thanks.

1053
01:08:04,541 --> 01:08:07,291
Um, but did you know
you can get a tax write-off for donations?

1054
01:08:07,375 --> 01:08:10,541
"You wanna destroy the continent."
"Where are they all gonna live?"

1055
01:08:10,625 --> 01:08:12,583
"Has that even crossed your minds?"

1056
01:08:12,666 --> 01:08:14,041
The mission is in two weeks,

1057
01:08:14,125 --> 01:08:16,833
but we don't have a first officer
or someone to drive the RHIB.

1058
01:08:16,916 --> 01:08:19,500
We also need someone for the sick bay.
Su needs a break.

1059
01:08:19,583 --> 01:08:22,125
"It's human trafficking and you should all
get what you deserve."

1060
01:08:22,208 --> 01:08:24,041
"You should do time."

1061
01:08:24,125 --> 01:08:26,708
"Traffickers without borders
should die at sea."

1062
01:08:26,791 --> 01:08:29,083
-It's locked. I can't get in.
-What is it?

1063
01:08:29,166 --> 01:08:31,625
We got hacked.
The website, social media, all of it.

1064
01:08:32,291 --> 01:08:34,500
-Do we know who it was?
-Some right-wingers! Who else?!

1065
01:08:34,583 --> 01:08:36,416
Fuck! Shit! Dammit!

1066
01:08:36,500 --> 01:08:37,916
"I saw you on TV."

1067
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:41,583
"This plan you're so proud of
is a really shitty idea."

1068
01:08:41,666 --> 01:08:44,166
"Seriously, where are they supposed
to go?"

1069
01:08:44,250 --> 01:08:45,541
"What about our jobs and women?"

1070
01:08:46,208 --> 01:08:48,750
What is that? Who went to Hamburg?

1071
01:08:48,833 --> 01:08:51,291
Why is there a receipt
from fucking Hamburg?

1072
01:08:53,500 --> 01:08:54,916
Found this under the sink.

1073
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,500
"Fuck you and your Islamization
of the West."

1074
01:08:57,583 --> 01:09:00,625
"Germany's for Germans, and that's it."

1075
01:09:00,708 --> 01:09:02,041
Lukas.

1076
01:09:02,125 --> 01:09:04,791
The Italian Coast Guard ordered
the Iuventa to the Port of Lampedusa.

1077
01:09:04,875 --> 01:09:06,875
-With only five refugees on board.
-Wait.

1078
01:09:06,958 --> 01:09:08,916
What? That doesn't make any sense.

1079
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:10,791
-Viola, I've got you on speaker.
-Yeah.

1080
01:09:10,875 --> 01:09:12,125
We've got five minors on board,

1081
01:09:12,208 --> 01:09:14,333
and there are four
or five rubber dinghies out there,

1082
01:09:14,416 --> 01:09:16,041
transporting like 500 people.

1083
01:09:16,125 --> 01:09:18,250
We can't assist them if we leave now.

1084
01:09:18,333 --> 01:09:21,666
-Can't you transfer passengers?
-Yeah, no, we've tried.

1085
01:09:21,750 --> 01:09:24,500
The Italians said it was out
of the question without a reason.

1086
01:09:24,583 --> 01:09:27,250
We have to head to Lampedusa.
Their tone is raising in their emails.

1087
01:09:27,333 --> 01:09:29,875
They're all, "Follow the orders!"
You know?

1088
01:09:29,958 --> 01:09:32,875
-Right. Where are you right now?
-A whole day away from Lampedusa.

1089
01:09:32,958 --> 01:09:34,916
We'll lose two days
getting there and back.

1090
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:36,541
So we're not doing it.

1091
01:09:36,625 --> 01:09:39,375
No way. We always have
to cooperate with the authorities.

1092
01:09:39,458 --> 01:09:40,875
-It's the law.
-Nina.

1093
01:09:40,958 --> 01:09:43,625
We have to rescue those people.
That's why we're here.

1094
01:09:43,708 --> 01:09:46,291
-Because lives come first.
-What are you trying to say?

1095
01:09:46,375 --> 01:09:49,416
I'm saying we're disregarding the order.
We're staying put.

1096
01:09:50,583 --> 01:09:53,500
You can't. No. If you don't comply,
we will not stand by you.

1097
01:09:53,583 --> 01:09:55,791
You will have stayed
against our explicit orders,

1098
01:09:55,875 --> 01:09:57,416
and we will cancel all future missions.

1099
01:09:57,500 --> 01:10:00,583
We cooperate.
It's the Jugend Rettet core tenet.

1100
01:10:00,666 --> 01:10:03,125
-Are you serious right now?
-Yeah.

1101
01:10:33,708 --> 01:10:37,041
Hey.

1102
01:10:57,333 --> 01:10:58,333
Yeah?

1103
01:11:06,083 --> 01:11:07,541
-Hello?
-Hello?

1104
01:11:07,625 --> 01:11:09,208
Refugees. We heard we can live here.

1105
01:11:09,291 --> 01:11:10,458
-Open door, come on!
-What?

1106
01:11:13,916 --> 01:11:16,250
-Come on, let us in! Hey!
-We're hungry, hey!

1107
01:11:16,333 --> 01:11:18,416
-It's a gang of fascists.
-What?

1108
01:11:18,500 --> 01:11:20,083
Don't open the door!

1109
01:11:20,166 --> 01:11:22,750
-Hey, are you nuts?
-Leave right now!

1110
01:11:22,833 --> 01:11:25,166
-Who is that?
-A bunch of fascists.

1111
01:11:25,250 --> 01:11:26,375
Why the fuck are you here?!

1112
01:11:26,458 --> 01:11:28,458
-Should we call the cops?
-Yeah! Go call the cops.

1113
01:11:28,541 --> 01:11:33,500
Listen, we're calling the police now.
What the fuck is your problem?!

1114
01:11:33,583 --> 01:11:36,791
-Get out of here! Fuck off, guys!
-That's enough!

1115
01:11:36,875 --> 01:11:39,333
Yes, hi. We've got a bunch
of guys banging at our door

1116
01:11:39,416 --> 01:11:40,875
and yelling at us to let them in.

1117
01:11:43,125 --> 01:11:47,208
Please come quick.

1118
01:11:47,291 --> 01:11:49,666
We're calling the police,
so go on and fuck off!

1119
01:11:49,750 --> 01:11:52,375
-They're still banging.
-Just get out of here!

1120
01:11:52,458 --> 01:11:55,000
-Yeah, okay, thanks. Okay.
-Come on, fuck off already!

1121
01:11:58,250 --> 01:11:59,458
Get lost!

1122
01:11:59,541 --> 01:12:02,458
-I'll handle this.
-They're not leaving!

1123
01:12:02,541 --> 01:12:05,125
-Get lost!
-Oh!

1124
01:12:05,208 --> 01:12:06,708
Fuck off! Now!

1125
01:12:13,125 --> 01:12:14,625
Mauro, are you all right?

1126
01:12:15,833 --> 01:12:17,916
-Are you okay? Can you hear?
-I can't breathe.

1127
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:19,250
Okay, exhale.

1128
01:12:19,833 --> 01:12:23,125
-Inhale slowly. You're safe.
-Okay.

1129
01:12:23,208 --> 01:12:25,250
-Hey.
-It's fine. They're gone.

1130
01:12:25,333 --> 01:12:29,666
-I can't breathe.
-Exhale slowly.

1131
01:12:29,750 --> 01:12:31,000
You're safe.

1132
01:12:34,958 --> 01:12:36,375
It's all good.

1133
01:12:46,458 --> 01:12:48,458
They're gone now. It's okay.

1134
01:13:00,708 --> 01:13:02,541
We stop missions in the winter.

1135
01:13:02,625 --> 01:13:04,166
The refugees don't cross in dinghies.

1136
01:13:04,250 --> 01:13:06,666
The sea gets really dicey.
The weather's too bad.

1137
01:13:06,750 --> 01:13:09,500
We're using the downtime
to tune up the ship.

1138
01:13:09,583 --> 01:13:11,750
And in January,
we're organizing a big meeting

1139
01:13:11,833 --> 01:13:15,083
to go over everything that happened
during our first year at sea.

1140
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:19,458
The good stuff and the challenges.

1141
01:13:19,958 --> 01:13:22,458
-Hm. Mm.
-Mm-hmm.

1142
01:13:22,958 --> 01:13:25,666
-What?
-Nothing.

1143
01:13:26,166 --> 01:13:28,416
-What is it?
-Nothing.

1144
01:13:29,166 --> 01:13:31,916
Well, I didn't want
to bring this up tonight.

1145
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:33,375
I'm just concerned.

1146
01:13:33,458 --> 01:13:34,791
You've been doing this two years.

1147
01:13:34,875 --> 01:13:36,500
You said you'd give it one.

1148
01:13:36,583 --> 01:13:39,208
Mm-hmm. So?

1149
01:13:39,291 --> 01:13:43,333
So, Kitty's almost done with her program.
You haven't even started a degree.

1150
01:13:44,458 --> 01:13:47,333
You think I should mention it down there?
I could tell the refugees,

1151
01:13:47,416 --> 01:13:50,083
"Sorry! I gotta move on now.
My mother thinks this isn't honorable."

1152
01:13:50,166 --> 01:13:52,541
-That's not what I meant.
-What did you mean?

1153
01:13:53,666 --> 01:13:56,500
I am only saying
that nearly two years have gone by,

1154
01:13:56,583 --> 01:13:58,541
and I haven't heard from you
in six months.

1155
01:13:58,625 --> 01:14:00,125
So I am worried.

1156
01:14:00,208 --> 01:14:03,458
-You can't go on like this.
-Trust me. I wish I could just stop!

1157
01:14:05,500 --> 01:14:08,208
I'd be thrilled to move on with my life.

1158
01:14:09,041 --> 01:14:12,000
I wish no one needed rescuing anymore
or someone else would do it.

1159
01:14:12,083 --> 01:14:14,375
But no one steps in.

1160
01:14:16,291 --> 01:14:19,708
Governments aren't offering to take over.
They're not helping!

1161
01:14:22,750 --> 01:14:24,333
You're not either.

1162
01:14:26,666 --> 01:14:29,583
You believe giving 500 euros
at Christmas is enough support.

1163
01:14:33,166 --> 01:14:34,958
We won't stop till it changes.

1164
01:14:38,625 --> 01:14:39,625
Good.

1165
01:14:54,375 --> 01:14:57,625
What I don't understand is…
are there charges against us?

1166
01:14:57,708 --> 01:14:59,416
Why do you need to search our ship?

1167
01:14:59,500 --> 01:15:01,291
No. No, it's just routine.

1168
01:15:01,375 --> 01:15:02,583
It's not routine.

1169
01:15:02,666 --> 01:15:05,166
And for five minors,
you don't have to search our ship.

1170
01:15:05,250 --> 01:15:08,125
It doesn't make any sense!
Look, our papers are in order.

1171
01:15:08,208 --> 01:15:10,333
Everything is fine.
I really don't get the point.

1172
01:15:10,416 --> 01:15:12,208
These are routines. Don't worry.

1173
01:15:12,291 --> 01:15:14,708
There are people
out at sea. They need our help.

1174
01:15:14,791 --> 01:15:18,375
Otherwise, they're going to die
while we have this discussion here.

1175
01:15:19,208 --> 01:15:22,208
So that's what complying
with the authorities looks like.

1176
01:15:22,291 --> 01:15:25,166
You get pulled from your mission,
and the ship gets searched.

1177
01:15:25,250 --> 01:15:28,250
They interviewed us all night
and let us go back the next morning.

1178
01:15:28,333 --> 01:15:30,208
We lost two whole days because of it.

1179
01:15:30,958 --> 01:15:33,666
We had to go there
because we had five minors on board.

1180
01:15:33,750 --> 01:15:36,625
There were hundreds of people
still out there on rubber dinghies.

1181
01:15:36,708 --> 01:15:38,666
We don't know what happened to them.

1182
01:15:38,750 --> 01:15:40,958
But here's the thing,
at that moment like that,

1183
01:15:41,041 --> 01:15:42,625
there's nothing that the coast guard

1184
01:15:42,708 --> 01:15:44,583
or any authority can say.

1185
01:15:44,666 --> 01:15:46,125
We're there to save people.

1186
01:15:46,208 --> 01:15:48,791
Okay. But what did you expect us
to do, then?

1187
01:15:48,875 --> 01:15:51,750
Because ignoring the authorities
is not a good solution.

1188
01:15:51,833 --> 01:15:53,000
Stay and rescue.

1189
01:15:53,083 --> 01:15:55,916
You should have stood by the decision
and let us refuse the orders.

1190
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:58,041
-It would've been bad.
-This is our ship.

1191
01:15:58,125 --> 01:15:59,708
We are free to do as we please on it.

1192
01:15:59,791 --> 01:16:02,083
But it's not your ship!
It's not ours either.

1193
01:16:02,166 --> 01:16:04,458
You didn't pay for it.
It is not private property.

1194
01:16:04,541 --> 01:16:06,250
It's not ours!

1195
01:16:06,333 --> 01:16:08,541
And all of us know
that you just want to save people,

1196
01:16:08,625 --> 01:16:10,208
but we have to play by the damn rules!

1197
01:16:10,291 --> 01:16:12,791
I'm not doing what I want to.
I'm doing what I have to.

1198
01:16:12,875 --> 01:16:15,000
Well, Jugend Rettet
always has to cooperate.

1199
01:16:15,083 --> 01:16:17,375
I mean, if cooperating means
letting people die out there,

1200
01:16:17,458 --> 01:16:18,875
we shouldn't cooperate.

1201
01:16:18,958 --> 01:16:21,125
It is criminal
to go against the authorities.

1202
01:16:21,208 --> 01:16:23,166
We will lose funding,
and we won't save any lives.

1203
01:16:23,250 --> 01:16:26,708
This silly image you're trying to project
by wearing your designer outfits--

1204
01:16:26,791 --> 01:16:27,833
Viola!

1205
01:16:27,916 --> 01:16:30,208
It's not helping us rescue anyone.
It's an act!

1206
01:16:30,291 --> 01:16:32,166
-You're out of line!
-I carry corpses.

1207
01:16:32,250 --> 01:16:34,375
You just sit at your desk
with your spreadsheets.

1208
01:16:34,458 --> 01:16:36,208
Wow, Viola. You don't get it at all.

1209
01:16:36,291 --> 01:16:38,958
Without us here, in Berlin,
you wouldn't have a ship.

1210
01:16:39,041 --> 01:16:41,375
I don't sit here
and sweet-talk for donations.

1211
01:16:41,458 --> 01:16:43,791
I do public relations,
fundraising, advocacy work,

1212
01:16:43,875 --> 01:16:45,166
and read every fucking email.

1213
01:16:45,250 --> 01:16:46,416
I sift through all the hate.

1214
01:16:46,500 --> 01:16:47,958
How dare you say I just sit here!

1215
01:16:48,041 --> 01:16:49,750
I'm killing myself
to get people's support!

1216
01:16:49,833 --> 01:16:52,458
Without all the work we do here,
we wouldn't have a single penny.

1217
01:16:52,541 --> 01:16:56,291
Yeah, but if we let the Italians bully us,
your fucking money's useless!

1218
01:16:56,375 --> 01:16:57,541
Enough!

1219
01:16:58,500 --> 01:17:00,500
This is why we're falling apart.

1220
01:17:00,583 --> 01:17:03,041
You're being really disrespectful
and self-righteous.

1221
01:17:03,125 --> 01:17:06,041
-I just say it how it is.
-Why are you fighting us?

1222
01:17:06,125 --> 01:17:07,000
'Cause we have to.

1223
01:17:15,333 --> 01:17:17,708
She was really shitty in there.

1224
01:17:20,333 --> 01:17:22,083
I spend like all of my time in this place.

1225
01:17:22,166 --> 01:17:24,166
I don't have a life,
and they say I don't care?

1226
01:17:24,250 --> 01:17:27,083
I'm more into my outfits
than saving the migrants who need my help?

1227
01:17:27,166 --> 01:17:29,291
She's all acting
like there's two types of people.

1228
01:17:29,375 --> 01:17:31,500
The ones who work at computers
and those who save lives.

1229
01:17:31,583 --> 01:17:34,958
I hear you. Just try to keep in mind
these are views on the same problem.

1230
01:17:35,041 --> 01:17:36,000
At the end of the day,

1231
01:17:36,083 --> 01:17:37,875
the point is to get out there
and save lives.

1232
01:17:37,958 --> 01:17:42,666
I'm perfectly aware of what goes on at sea
even though I don't go on the missions!

1233
01:17:43,375 --> 01:17:46,041
But the people here
don't seem to care about that!

1234
01:17:46,125 --> 01:17:48,791
Y'know, before it was all,
"We can do it!" That time's passed.

1235
01:17:49,375 --> 01:17:51,541
Nobody wants anything
to change around here.

1236
01:17:51,625 --> 01:17:53,541
Sure, they want the migrant problem
to be solved.

1237
01:17:53,625 --> 01:17:55,875
They don't want to actually help
with any of it though.

1238
01:17:55,958 --> 01:17:57,458
They want it to just disappear!

1239
01:17:57,958 --> 01:18:00,583
How can they see that welcoming people
could bring us together

1240
01:18:00,666 --> 01:18:02,000
if it's tearing us apart?

1241
01:18:02,083 --> 01:18:04,791
I think I should work elsewhere.

1242
01:18:06,291 --> 01:18:07,958
-Sorry.
-Domi.

1243
01:18:08,666 --> 01:18:09,708
Domi!

1244
01:18:47,458 --> 01:18:48,541
Hey.

1245
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:04,125
Fucking Libyan Coast Guard.

1246
01:19:04,208 --> 01:19:05,375
Oh shit.

1247
01:19:06,375 --> 01:19:09,416
They're shooting at them.

1248
01:19:10,375 --> 01:19:13,458
-Do you know where Sören and Viola are?
-Upstairs.

1249
01:19:13,541 --> 01:19:14,541
Thanks.

1250
01:19:18,791 --> 01:19:21,750
Last year's militia are now
official Libyan Coast Guard.

1251
01:19:21,833 --> 01:19:24,791
Yeah. Europe's actually training
and financing them.

1252
01:19:25,625 --> 01:19:27,250
Everything's changing. It's crazy.

1253
01:19:27,333 --> 01:19:29,000
No one wants anything to do with refugees.

1254
01:19:29,083 --> 01:19:32,291
European countries want
to block the Mediterranean route.

1255
01:19:32,375 --> 01:19:35,750
That's why they ordered us to Lampedusa.
They don't want witnesses.

1256
01:19:35,833 --> 01:19:37,583
Yeah. They want us to back down.

1257
01:19:37,666 --> 01:19:40,500
But there are as many dinghies
out there as last year.

1258
01:19:40,583 --> 01:19:41,541
They come in waves.

1259
01:19:41,625 --> 01:19:45,041
Sometimes we see eight
or nine boats out there at the same time.

1260
01:19:45,125 --> 01:19:47,333
It's insane. Hundreds of people.

1261
01:19:47,416 --> 01:19:49,458
They all die if no one rescues them.

1262
01:20:06,666 --> 01:20:07,750
Sören!

1263
01:20:08,583 --> 01:20:09,708
Sören!

1264
01:20:09,791 --> 01:20:11,458
-Sören!
-What?

1265
01:20:11,541 --> 01:20:14,916
There's way too many of them!
Where's the fucking coast guard?

1266
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:18,708
They said they were on their way!
But that was hours ago!

1267
01:20:18,791 --> 01:20:20,541
We can't handle it all alone!

1268
01:20:20,625 --> 01:20:23,583
Get the people from there,
onto the life raft.

1269
01:20:23,666 --> 01:20:25,375
We'll fill the raft, okay?

1270
01:20:25,458 --> 01:20:27,833
Everybody, I need your help.

1271
01:20:28,416 --> 01:20:29,833
Pull the people inside.

1272
01:20:30,708 --> 01:20:32,000
Okay.

1273
01:20:32,500 --> 01:20:35,000
I need space. Guys, I need space!

1274
01:20:35,916 --> 01:20:39,000
I got him! I got him!

1275
01:20:39,625 --> 01:20:43,500
Come on, let me through.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.

1276
01:20:47,833 --> 01:20:49,416
What's up with the coast guard?

1277
01:20:49,500 --> 01:20:51,583
They saw two other boats
that need rescuing.

1278
01:20:51,666 --> 01:20:53,333
What about other ships? The navy?

1279
01:20:53,416 --> 01:20:55,791
-Apparently, no one can.
-No one can help?

1280
01:20:57,166 --> 01:20:59,125
-Okay.
-Hang on, Sören.

1281
01:21:00,333 --> 01:21:02,583
We've got to get everyone on deck
and dump the life rafts.

1282
01:21:02,666 --> 01:21:04,625
-No way. We can't.
-We've got to.

1283
01:21:04,708 --> 01:21:06,833
This boat won't move
in this weather if we don't!

1284
01:21:06,916 --> 01:21:08,291
It's the way to fight the waves.

1285
01:21:08,375 --> 01:21:11,291
Viola. The deck is full.
Why don't you get that?

1286
01:21:11,375 --> 01:21:14,458
-There's no more room!
-I get it, but it's the only way.

1287
01:21:14,541 --> 01:21:17,833
-One big wave and it's all over.
-Yeah, I know that!

1288
01:21:22,125 --> 01:21:23,333
Fuck.

1289
01:21:26,958 --> 01:21:30,875
God fucking damn it. Lord help us.

1290
01:21:30,958 --> 01:21:33,166
Get everyone up! Get them all up there!

1291
01:21:34,583 --> 01:21:37,583
Lukas! Lukas! Maik! Come up here!

1292
01:21:37,666 --> 01:21:41,291
We have to get everyone up here.
Everyone below deck!

1293
01:21:41,375 --> 01:21:43,958
Here, come on! Come up!

1294
01:21:44,041 --> 01:21:45,625
Get below deck!

1295
01:21:45,708 --> 01:21:48,583
Get everyone down there!
Get everyone below deck!

1296
01:21:48,666 --> 01:21:50,416
One after the other!

1297
01:21:54,208 --> 01:21:57,166
Get inside. You can come here.
Come here, come here.

1298
01:21:57,250 --> 01:21:59,375
Okay, go inside. Go inside!
Go inside, go inside.

1299
01:22:01,583 --> 01:22:03,750
She's really weak. She's really weak.

1300
01:22:03,833 --> 01:22:06,375
Watch your head. Watch your feet, please!

1301
01:22:06,458 --> 01:22:07,666
Go there.

1302
01:22:07,750 --> 01:22:09,791
Okay, be careful. Try to hold on.

1303
01:22:09,875 --> 01:22:12,208
Be careful! Watch your step, please.
Go there.

1304
01:22:12,291 --> 01:22:13,583
Please move back a bit.

1305
01:22:13,666 --> 01:22:15,833
-One by one!
-Back up!

1306
01:22:15,916 --> 01:22:17,791
Slower. Careful, please.
Please, take care!

1307
01:22:20,166 --> 01:22:23,083
Spread out! Everybody spread out!

1308
01:22:24,958 --> 01:22:28,666
Please, everyone needs to wait a minute!
And be careful!

1309
01:22:28,750 --> 01:22:30,416
Please slow down!

1310
01:22:30,500 --> 01:22:32,208
Try to make space for everyone.

1311
01:22:32,291 --> 01:22:35,208
Mayday, mayday.
This is Iuventa, Iuventa, Iuventa.

1312
01:22:35,291 --> 01:22:37,208
I have 400 people on board.

1313
01:22:37,291 --> 01:22:40,708
With the current weather situation,
I'm not able to safely navigate.

1314
01:22:40,791 --> 01:22:44,791
Please. I need immediate assistance.
I'm not able to get out of this situation.

1315
01:22:44,875 --> 01:22:46,791
Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!

1316
01:22:50,625 --> 01:22:51,666
Man overboard!

1317
01:22:54,875 --> 01:22:57,833
Go back to your vessel! Go back!

1318
01:23:00,916 --> 01:23:02,333
Go back to the--

1319
01:23:05,041 --> 01:23:08,500
Okay, come here! Come here! Grab my hand!

1320
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:12,041
Hold on tight! I'm here for you!
Take my hand!

1321
01:23:27,708 --> 01:23:30,041
Over here! Come on! Take my hand!

1322
01:23:30,125 --> 01:23:31,750
Come on! Come on, now!

1323
01:23:46,666 --> 01:23:48,166
God help us.

1324
01:23:57,750 --> 01:24:01,500
We were out there for 48 hours in total.

1325
01:24:01,583 --> 01:24:03,791
We were left to ourselves completely.

1326
01:24:03,875 --> 01:24:06,250
No ships came to help.
The Coast Guard never showed up.

1327
01:24:06,333 --> 01:24:07,625
Neither did the Navy.

1328
01:24:07,708 --> 01:24:09,958
Our ship was so packed,
we couldn't fit anyone else.

1329
01:24:10,041 --> 01:24:12,083
We had to watch people drown.

1330
01:24:12,166 --> 01:24:15,125
We ran out of space on board
and life vests. We had nothing.

1331
01:24:15,208 --> 01:24:18,458
We were devastated.
We were over capacity. People kept coming.

1332
01:24:18,541 --> 01:24:20,375
We couldn't help them all.

1333
01:24:20,458 --> 01:24:23,666
A container ship finally appeared
and offered us a hand.

1334
01:24:23,750 --> 01:24:25,458
With that crew's help, we got to catch up

1335
01:24:25,541 --> 01:24:27,125
with another rescue mission.

1336
01:24:27,208 --> 01:24:29,583
Folks from Save the Children, a big ship.

1337
01:24:29,666 --> 01:24:32,208
The people we'd rescued got on.
That's what we do.

1338
01:24:32,291 --> 01:24:34,833
You're still in the Mediterranean.
Whereabouts?

1339
01:24:34,916 --> 01:24:36,000
In Malta.

1340
01:24:36,083 --> 01:24:38,333
Yeah. We're getting ourselves ready
for the next mission.

1341
01:24:38,416 --> 01:24:39,708
Bergmann, what are you thinking?

1342
01:24:39,791 --> 01:24:42,125
You believe policies are sufficient
in dealing with this?

1343
01:24:42,208 --> 01:24:45,583
Uh… Well, let me just start
by saying that these young folks

1344
01:24:45,666 --> 01:24:48,666
are doing some extraordinary work
down there.

1345
01:24:48,750 --> 01:24:50,875
And look, I don't mean
to question their motives.

1346
01:24:50,958 --> 01:24:53,125
They are surely honorable.
They really are.

1347
01:24:53,208 --> 01:24:57,250
But as far as we see it,
these rescue ships are also pull factors.

1348
01:24:57,333 --> 01:25:00,291
You mean they actually cause
these migrants

1349
01:25:00,375 --> 01:25:02,708
to risk their lives
in the hopes of being saved?

1350
01:25:02,791 --> 01:25:03,625
Exactly.

1351
01:25:03,708 --> 01:25:05,958
They're willing to do just about anything

1352
01:25:06,041 --> 01:25:07,875
to get out of their dire situations.

1353
01:25:07,958 --> 01:25:11,583
They'll risk their lives if a ship
is supposed to bring them to Europe.

1354
01:25:11,666 --> 01:25:13,916
-But it doesn't happen like that at all.
-Mr. Weiland?

1355
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:16,166
I mean, I'm sorry but it's not true.

1356
01:25:16,250 --> 01:25:18,041
People don't get onto these dinghies

1357
01:25:18,125 --> 01:25:21,208
thinking an NGO rescue ship
is waiting out there to save them.

1358
01:25:21,291 --> 01:25:23,625
No, people do it
because they're in war zones.

1359
01:25:23,708 --> 01:25:26,958
They're living in countries
that outlaw their sexuality or religion.

1360
01:25:27,041 --> 01:25:28,958
They can't even feed their families.

1361
01:25:29,041 --> 01:25:32,625
You have to be pretty desperate
to get on a rubber dinghy like that.

1362
01:25:32,708 --> 01:25:36,458
One would only venture out to sea
for a matter of life or death.

1363
01:25:36,541 --> 01:25:39,458
Once on board our boat,
they're not interested in welfare checks.

1364
01:25:39,541 --> 01:25:42,625
All they want is to write to their mothers
to tell them they survived.

1365
01:25:42,708 --> 01:25:44,250
And what is your response

1366
01:25:44,333 --> 01:25:48,875
to the allegations that there are rescuers
working with the human traffickers?

1367
01:25:48,958 --> 01:25:52,166
That there's a whole line of communication
that takes place

1368
01:25:52,250 --> 01:25:54,041
before each dinghy departs.

1369
01:25:54,125 --> 01:25:56,416
That's not true either.
These allegations are false.

1370
01:25:56,500 --> 01:25:58,625
The authorities are aware of that.

1371
01:25:58,708 --> 01:26:03,083
That's all false information
aimed at discrediting our mission.

1372
01:26:03,166 --> 01:26:04,791
Of course, people end up believing it

1373
01:26:04,875 --> 01:26:07,333
since it's repeated so much
on talk shows like this.

1374
01:26:07,416 --> 01:26:10,833
There's never any communication
in advance with them.

1375
01:26:10,916 --> 01:26:14,291
We heard that you leave them boats
and motors sometimes.

1376
01:26:14,375 --> 01:26:15,750
We're in the middle of the sea.

1377
01:26:15,833 --> 01:26:19,208
So, of course, we can't always destroy
the rubber dinghies during rescues.

1378
01:26:19,291 --> 01:26:24,375
We're busy saving people in danger
because… because it's our priority.

1379
01:26:25,375 --> 01:26:28,791
Our mission is saving lives.
Not handling boats.

1380
01:26:36,375 --> 01:26:42,541
MALTA. LATE JULY 2017

1381
01:27:09,916 --> 01:27:12,708
-Wow, you look like shit.
-Yeah.

1382
01:27:14,833 --> 01:27:16,416
-Let's go for a walk.
-Mm-hmm.

1383
01:27:21,458 --> 01:27:24,416
So what's the conference,
uh… you're going to?

1384
01:27:24,500 --> 01:27:27,125
-Where is it again?
-Uh, in Syracuse, in Sicily.

1385
01:27:27,208 --> 01:27:28,333
Right.

1386
01:27:28,416 --> 01:27:31,250
The conference is focused
on international human rights.

1387
01:27:37,333 --> 01:27:42,125
Nina mentioned the situation down here
is getting really hard.

1388
01:27:42,208 --> 01:27:44,875
That's an understatement, for sure.

1389
01:27:44,958 --> 01:27:46,333
This is a war.

1390
01:27:48,500 --> 01:27:51,416
They're fighting the refugees,
so they're fighting us too.

1391
01:27:52,458 --> 01:27:56,416
The Italian government has asked us
to sign a code of conduct.

1392
01:27:56,500 --> 01:27:58,916
They want the police to ride along
on the Iuventa

1393
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:02,375
so they can… interrogate the refugees
as soon as they board.

1394
01:28:02,458 --> 01:28:06,416
Odds are, they're just going to ask,
"Who was driving the dinghy?"

1395
01:28:06,500 --> 01:28:10,250
And someone will proudly say
they were in charge,

1396
01:28:10,333 --> 01:28:15,208
feeling heroic, and they'll get locked up
for 20 years for human trafficking.

1397
01:28:15,291 --> 01:28:18,500
Most NGOs already signed it,
but we're not gonna do that.

1398
01:28:21,125 --> 01:28:23,416
I know exactly how they're gonna answer.

1399
01:28:49,208 --> 01:28:50,958
My ferry's gonna leave soon.

1400
01:29:03,708 --> 01:29:05,708
When's your next mission?

1401
01:29:07,208 --> 01:29:09,125
Uh… tomorrow.

1402
01:29:31,458 --> 01:29:34,791
Take care of yourself.

1403
01:29:45,125 --> 01:29:48,125
Excuse me.
Why are you bringing two people on board?

1404
01:29:50,416 --> 01:29:53,750
Where did you find them?
What do you want us to do with them now?

1405
01:29:56,166 --> 01:29:57,791
'Cause we don't know why they're here.

1406
01:29:59,083 --> 01:30:01,875
What should we do now?
No, I don't understand.

1407
01:30:02,916 --> 01:30:04,083
Who are they?

1408
01:30:04,166 --> 01:30:06,666
Apparently, two brothers from Syria.

1409
01:30:06,750 --> 01:30:09,666
With nice suitcases?
Brought here by the Coast Guard.

1410
01:30:11,083 --> 01:30:13,250
So we need to take them to Lampedusa?
For real?

1411
01:30:13,333 --> 01:30:16,791
-Yeah.
-That's nuts.

1412
01:30:20,083 --> 01:30:23,375
-We're just trying to--
-Okay, stop. Um…who are you?

1413
01:30:23,458 --> 01:30:25,541
-We are brothers from Syria.
-Brothers, okay.

1414
01:30:25,625 --> 01:30:27,125
-Lukas.
-Just wait a second.

1415
01:30:27,208 --> 01:30:30,833
Honestly, you don't look like brothers.
Can you stop filming for a second?

1416
01:30:30,916 --> 01:30:32,875
What is this? What are you doing here?

1417
01:30:32,958 --> 01:30:35,041
We're doing interviews for a documentary.

1418
01:30:35,125 --> 01:30:36,541
Documentary?

1419
01:30:36,625 --> 01:30:39,750
-About the situation of refugees.
-Okay, no. Uh, please take it down, okay?

1420
01:30:39,833 --> 01:30:42,541
We're not doing an interview.
We're not doing a documentary here.

1421
01:30:42,625 --> 01:30:45,500
-Take it down. Hey! Take it… Fuck!
-What?

1422
01:30:45,583 --> 01:30:47,291
This is insane.

1423
01:30:47,875 --> 01:30:52,541
LAMPEDUSA, 02 AUGUST 2017

1424
01:31:01,750 --> 01:31:03,416
Who's the captain here?

1425
01:31:04,708 --> 01:31:08,791
-This ship is under police investigation.
-Why?

1426
01:31:08,875 --> 01:31:11,833
I'm sorry, madam.
But you have to leave the ship.

1427
01:31:13,541 --> 01:31:15,625
-What's the reason?
-Please.

1428
01:31:15,708 --> 01:31:18,333
The whole crew has
to leave the ship. Now.

1429
01:31:18,416 --> 01:31:21,000
-Come on.
-We've done nothing wrong.

1430
01:31:21,083 --> 01:31:24,208
There is no reason
for us to leave this ship.

1431
01:31:24,291 --> 01:31:26,875
I mean…

1432
01:31:28,083 --> 01:31:31,208
Are we under arrest?
What? Please don't touch me.

1433
01:31:54,958 --> 01:31:58,666
Nina? Wait, we're putting you on speaker.

1434
01:31:59,583 --> 01:32:01,791
-All right.
-Okay. Where are you?

1435
01:32:01,875 --> 01:32:03,541
By the boat. They're searching it.

1436
01:32:03,625 --> 01:32:06,208
I know. The phones
are ringing off the hook here.

1437
01:32:06,291 --> 01:32:08,541
They're seizing the ship now.

1438
01:32:08,625 --> 01:32:11,000
We're going to get charged
with human trafficking.

1439
01:32:11,875 --> 01:32:13,291
What?

1440
01:32:13,375 --> 01:32:16,208
That's what the Italian authorities
told the press.

1441
01:32:16,291 --> 01:32:18,916
They've got a 400-page indictment
against us.

1442
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:21,416
It's all over the media already.

1443
01:32:21,500 --> 01:32:23,500
Yup, look at all this.

1444
01:32:25,583 --> 01:32:27,625
So, they knew before us?

1445
01:32:27,708 --> 01:32:30,250
Looks like they were fully prepared.

1446
01:32:32,125 --> 01:32:35,750
I found a lawyer from Borderline Europe
who's on vacation on Lampedusa.

1447
01:32:35,833 --> 01:32:37,750
She's headed to the indictment hearing
right now,

1448
01:32:37,833 --> 01:32:39,625
and you need to meet with her.

1449
01:32:41,291 --> 01:32:42,791
Okay, thanks.

1450
01:32:42,875 --> 01:32:46,208
-Take care of yourselves.
-We will. Bye.

1451
01:32:46,291 --> 01:32:48,375
Yes. Take them all.

1452
01:32:59,125 --> 01:33:02,250
First, I have to ask you
to switch off your mobile devices, please.

1453
01:33:02,333 --> 01:33:05,041
And I see that you have a fridge.

1454
01:33:05,125 --> 01:33:07,625
Would you be so kind
to actually switch them off

1455
01:33:07,708 --> 01:33:09,375
and put them in there, please?

1456
01:33:11,916 --> 01:33:13,291
Thank you.

1457
01:33:13,375 --> 01:33:17,083
They tapped over 40 phones.
Lawyers, priests, journalists…

1458
01:33:17,166 --> 01:33:18,583
It's all in here.

1459
01:33:19,958 --> 01:33:23,916
There are three criminal offenses
brought against the Iuventa crew.

1460
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:30,083
One suggests a direct handover of people
from the smugglers to the Iuventa.

1461
01:33:30,166 --> 01:33:32,916
The other one,
a hand gesture, like waving.

1462
01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:37,083
Which is supposed to prove communication
and establish relationship

1463
01:33:37,166 --> 01:33:38,416
between you and them.

1464
01:33:38,500 --> 01:33:39,708
Hand-waving?

1465
01:33:39,791 --> 01:33:43,000
They seized our ship
because someone waved a hand?

1466
01:33:43,791 --> 01:33:44,791
Yes.

1467
01:33:44,875 --> 01:33:46,625
And… the third one

1468
01:33:46,708 --> 01:33:52,291
accuses you of returning
three refugee boats to Libyan smugglers.

1469
01:33:53,625 --> 01:33:58,750
This all results in a charge of aiding
and abetting unauthorized immigration,

1470
01:33:58,833 --> 01:34:00,875
which means people smuggling.

1471
01:34:01,875 --> 01:34:03,583
How did they get the photos?

1472
01:34:03,666 --> 01:34:06,166
Obviously they had someone
on board who took them.

1473
01:34:06,250 --> 01:34:09,125
There was a spy?
There was a spy on board the other ship?

1474
01:34:09,208 --> 01:34:11,875
-We just pulled the boats out of the way.
-Yeah.

1475
01:34:11,958 --> 01:34:14,375
We tried not to jeopardize
the rescue operation.

1476
01:34:15,041 --> 01:34:19,416
If you only look at the photo,
it tells a different story.

1477
01:34:19,500 --> 01:34:22,041
And that's the story
that they told the press.

1478
01:34:22,125 --> 01:34:23,458
What?

1479
01:34:23,541 --> 01:34:25,250
Oh, and there is one more thing.

1480
01:34:25,333 --> 01:34:29,000
The files indicate
that the Italian authorities

1481
01:34:29,083 --> 01:34:34,416
have transcripts of conversations
on board of the Iuventa.

1482
01:34:34,500 --> 01:34:36,416
-What?
-You mean they bugged us?

1483
01:34:36,500 --> 01:34:37,666
Mm.

1484
01:34:37,750 --> 01:34:41,375
That's why they ordered us
to Lampedusa. To bug us.

1485
01:34:42,458 --> 01:34:45,250
Shit, man.

1486
01:34:46,500 --> 01:34:50,500
What happens if we're…
uh, what's the word?

1487
01:34:50,583 --> 01:34:52,166
-Convicted.
-Yeah.

1488
01:34:52,833 --> 01:34:55,250
People smuggling is a serious accusation.

1489
01:34:55,333 --> 01:35:00,541
So if the court rules against you,
you might have to go to jail.

1490
01:35:08,375 --> 01:35:10,916
At least five, up to 20 years.

1491
01:35:11,750 --> 01:35:16,041
And 15,000 euro fine per person
brought into Italy.

1492
01:36:49,250 --> 01:36:52,291
-Hello, my friend.
-Hello, Lamin.

1493
01:36:52,375 --> 01:36:54,958
I tried to call you five times.

1494
01:36:55,041 --> 01:36:57,666
I saw that, yeah.
You already speaking German, or what

1495
01:36:57,750 --> 01:37:01,208
Yes, I got a course! Intensive course.

1496
01:37:01,291 --> 01:37:05,833
And I told myself, "If you want to go
to school, you have to learn German."

1497
01:37:06,416 --> 01:37:09,583
-That's fantastic.
-Yes, it's hard.

1498
01:37:09,666 --> 01:37:12,333
It's really a difficult language.

1499
01:37:12,416 --> 01:37:15,041
But now I can stay in Germany.

1500
01:37:15,125 --> 01:37:18,791
I'll finish school,
and then I'll do an apprenticeship.

1501
01:37:18,875 --> 01:37:20,666
Industrial mechanic.

1502
01:37:21,250 --> 01:37:25,000
Industrial mechanics? Cool.

1503
01:37:25,083 --> 01:37:28,458
And I called you because I wanted
to tell you something

1504
01:37:28,541 --> 01:37:33,250
I couldn't have done that
without you all. You know?

1505
01:37:33,333 --> 01:37:38,166
That day on your ship
was the happiest day in my life, you know?

1506
01:37:38,250 --> 01:37:41,750
And now, I'm getting educated.

1507
01:37:41,833 --> 01:37:43,708
I can follow my dreams.

1508
01:37:43,791 --> 01:37:46,666
And I can do all of that because of you.

1509
01:37:49,166 --> 01:37:51,000
That's why I wanted to thank you.

1510
01:37:52,166 --> 01:37:53,666
That's why I'm calling.

1511
01:37:57,083 --> 01:37:59,375
-What is wrong, my friend?
-Nothing.

1512
01:38:00,500 --> 01:38:02,750
-What is it?
-Lamin, they seized our ship.

1513
01:38:02,833 --> 01:38:03,666
What?

1514
01:38:03,750 --> 01:38:06,541
Yeah, they're saying we work
with smugglers together.

1515
01:38:06,625 --> 01:38:09,500
-But you don't.
-No, I know. I know we don't.

1516
01:38:09,583 --> 01:38:12,250
I tell them that you didn't do that.

1517
01:38:12,333 --> 01:38:14,583
Yeah, that would… that would be great.

1518
01:38:14,666 --> 01:38:17,458
I tell them that you did not work
with the smugglers.

1519
01:38:17,541 --> 01:38:20,125
I was there. I can testify.

1520
01:38:20,208 --> 01:38:22,541
We all do. All of us.

1521
01:38:23,458 --> 01:38:27,958
Without you, we all would have died.
For sure.

1522
01:38:28,750 --> 01:38:32,208
You saved us and now, we'll save you.

1523
01:38:32,291 --> 01:38:34,958
Lamin, that… that would be amazing.

1524
01:38:36,166 --> 01:38:37,291
Really.

1525
01:38:43,916 --> 01:38:47,291
What if the refugees are our witnesses?

1526
01:38:48,166 --> 01:38:51,125
They were there.
They can say that they were in distress.

1527
01:38:51,208 --> 01:38:54,666
That they fought for their lives
and we didn't collaborate with smugglers.

1528
01:38:54,750 --> 01:38:57,250
I mean, we don't know
where they are today.

1529
01:38:57,333 --> 01:39:00,416
They probably live all over Europe
if they are still in Europe.

1530
01:39:00,500 --> 01:39:03,583
We can find them, I'm sure. Right?

1531
01:39:09,750 --> 01:39:11,541
When are we allowed to leave Lampedusa?

1532
01:39:11,625 --> 01:39:13,375
Who are the people
in charge of the Iuventa?

1533
01:39:15,458 --> 01:39:18,208
So I would suggest
the three of you stay here

1534
01:39:18,291 --> 01:39:20,666
and wait for the decision
of the authorities.

1535
01:39:21,750 --> 01:39:26,708
They might come up to question you
or come up with an arrest warrant.

1536
01:39:26,791 --> 01:39:29,791
Why can't we just fly back?
I mean, what can they do?

1537
01:39:29,875 --> 01:39:31,791
Arrest us because we tried to flee?

1538
01:39:31,875 --> 01:39:32,791
Yes.

1539
01:39:32,875 --> 01:39:35,208
What? But no, they can't arrest us.

1540
01:39:35,291 --> 01:39:37,875
We are all European citizens.

1541
01:39:37,958 --> 01:39:41,125
I mean, they just seized our ship
without any reason.

1542
01:39:41,208 --> 01:39:42,833
Exactly.

1543
01:39:42,916 --> 01:39:47,125
I think the crew can leave.
They can't force them to stay.

1544
01:39:47,208 --> 01:39:50,875
But… I don't know
what will happen to the three of you.

1545
01:39:50,958 --> 01:39:54,250
Great. I guess we're stuck here.

1546
01:40:00,083 --> 01:40:02,000
I'll be, uh, right back.

1547
01:40:02,083 --> 01:40:06,041
-Lukas!
-I know how to get us out of here!

1548
01:40:12,875 --> 01:40:15,375
I knew Mauro had a sailing license.

1549
01:40:15,458 --> 01:40:17,875
So he got on the next flight
to Mallorca with Nina.

1550
01:40:17,958 --> 01:40:18,791
Good luck.

1551
01:40:18,875 --> 01:40:21,291
Dressed like tourists,
they chartered a boat

1552
01:40:21,375 --> 01:40:25,291
and sailed nonstop for five days
and five nights straight to Lampedusa.

1553
01:40:25,958 --> 01:40:28,875
While the rest of the crew
flew back to Berlin,

1554
01:40:28,958 --> 01:40:31,791
Nina and Mauro smuggled us off the island.

1555
01:40:46,791 --> 01:40:49,625
For a brief moment, we were free.

1556
01:40:54,458 --> 01:40:57,416
We're officially in international waters.
You can come up.

1557
01:40:59,083 --> 01:41:00,666
-Let's celebrate.
-Okay.

1558
01:41:00,750 --> 01:41:02,458
I know this is super inappropriate,

1559
01:41:02,541 --> 01:41:04,708
but we were given this bottle
when we rented the boat.

1560
01:41:04,791 --> 01:41:06,416
-So let's enjoy.
-Cheers.

1561
01:41:13,500 --> 01:41:14,500
To us.

1562
01:41:24,250 --> 01:41:27,041
The case became one of the longest
and most elaborate

1563
01:41:27,125 --> 01:41:31,083
against a civilian rescue organization
in history.

1564
01:41:33,208 --> 01:41:36,791
Were you responsible
for communication during the operations?

1565
01:41:36,875 --> 01:41:38,333
Among others, yes.

1566
01:41:38,416 --> 01:41:42,000
So your crew relied on secret,
encrypted channels? Is that correct?

1567
01:41:42,083 --> 01:41:45,875
We used WhatsApp.
It's not secret. It's practical.

1568
01:41:45,958 --> 01:41:48,708
The Italian authorities wanted
to set a precedent with us,

1569
01:41:48,791 --> 01:41:50,958
despite there being no evidence
to support their claims.

1570
01:41:51,041 --> 01:41:53,875
Witnesses reported strong light signal
from your ship.

1571
01:41:53,958 --> 01:41:55,208
What were you signaling?

1572
01:41:55,875 --> 01:41:58,250
Nothing. We were scanning
for boats in distress.

1573
01:41:58,958 --> 01:42:00,208
Using searchlights at night

1574
01:42:00,291 --> 01:42:02,583
is standard procedure
in every rescue operation.

1575
01:42:02,666 --> 01:42:04,833
They called us the "taxis of the sea."

1576
01:42:06,166 --> 01:42:09,083
Their goal was
to discredit and silence us.

1577
01:42:09,916 --> 01:42:13,333
Every transfer was documented,
reported to the authorities.

1578
01:42:13,416 --> 01:42:15,791
You can check the records,
the e-mails, the phone logs…

1579
01:42:15,875 --> 01:42:18,291
It's all there. Everything is on record.

1580
01:42:18,375 --> 01:42:21,125
We continued trying
to find those we'd rescued.

1581
01:42:21,208 --> 01:42:24,416
Anyone willing to testify
that we were innocent.

1582
01:42:28,458 --> 01:42:31,291
Many were living in temporary camps
and shelters,

1583
01:42:31,375 --> 01:42:34,125
far from their families and dreams
of a safe future.

1584
01:42:38,750 --> 01:42:40,625
They were all willing to testify for us.

1585
01:42:40,708 --> 01:42:42,208
-Hi.
-Hello, Rose.

1586
01:42:42,291 --> 01:42:45,291
We were captured
by the Libyan militias in the desert.

1587
01:42:45,375 --> 01:42:46,958
And taken to prison.

1588
01:42:47,041 --> 01:42:49,875
They beat us and left us
without food for days.

1589
01:42:49,958 --> 01:42:52,500
Many women were forced into prostitution.

1590
01:42:52,583 --> 01:42:56,958
When I close my eyes, I…
I still hear the scream of people.

1591
01:42:57,041 --> 01:42:59,541
Objection. None of this
is relevant to this case.

1592
01:42:59,625 --> 01:43:02,375
Overruled. It's relevant. Please go on.

1593
01:43:03,791 --> 01:43:07,000
We were drifting for days,
abandoned at sea,

1594
01:43:07,083 --> 01:43:08,916
before the Iuventa found us.

1595
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:13,666
There was no direct handover.
Or collaboration with the smugglers.

1596
01:43:13,750 --> 01:43:17,458
Without them, I would not be here.

1597
01:43:17,541 --> 01:43:20,416
We would not be here to tell our story.

1598
01:43:20,500 --> 01:43:22,166
We would be dead.

1599
01:43:23,541 --> 01:43:26,333
The Iuventa people saved our lives.

1600
01:43:26,833 --> 01:43:28,166
That's what they did.

1601
01:43:29,875 --> 01:43:35,291
On April 19, 2024,
after over 40 hearings and seven years,

1602
01:43:35,375 --> 01:43:37,416
the judge announced the verdict.

1603
01:43:39,625 --> 01:43:42,166
The evidence presented in this case

1604
01:43:42,250 --> 01:43:45,958
speaks with absolute clarity
and completeness

1605
01:43:46,041 --> 01:43:50,125
to the absence of the offenses
brought against the defendants.

1606
01:43:51,208 --> 01:43:56,708
When individuals risk their lives
to escape torture and enslavement,

1607
01:43:57,333 --> 01:43:59,291
this court cannot punish those

1608
01:43:59,375 --> 01:44:03,750
whose actions were aimed
towards ensuring their survival.

1609
01:44:04,416 --> 01:44:06,375
The act of saving lives at sea

1610
01:44:06,458 --> 01:44:10,708
is not and has never been
a criminal offense.

1611
01:44:10,791 --> 01:44:12,791
Yeah!

1612
01:44:13,583 --> 01:44:16,083
We were acquitted on all charges.

1613
01:44:21,291 --> 01:44:22,791
I can only speak for myself,

1614
01:44:22,875 --> 01:44:25,375
but I will always rescue people
from drowning.

1615
01:44:29,875 --> 01:44:31,875
Helping is not a crime.

1616
01:44:34,208 --> 01:44:36,208
It is an act of humanity.

1617
01:44:44,375 --> 01:44:46,750
BETWEEN 2016 AND 2017,

1618
01:44:46,833 --> 01:44:51,541
THE IUVENTA CREW SAVED OVER 23,000 LIVES.

1619
01:44:52,458 --> 01:44:55,500
DURING THE SEVEN YEARS OF THE TRIAL
AGAINST THE IUVENTA

1620
01:44:55,583 --> 01:44:58,833
TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DROWNED
IN THE MEDITERRANEAN,

1621
01:44:59,458 --> 01:45:02,416
WITH THE ALMOST ONE MILLION EUROS
SPENT ON THE TRIAL

1622
01:45:02,500 --> 01:45:07,500
"JUGEND RETTET" COULD HAVE CONTINUED
SAVING LIVES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN

1623
01:45:07,583 --> 01:45:09,375
FOR FOUR MORE YEARS.

1624
01:45:10,083 --> 01:45:13,458
OR BOUGHT SIX MORE SHIPS LIKE THE IUVENTA

1625
01:45:13,541 --> 01:45:16,833
AND USED THEM FOR RESCUE OPERATIONS.

1626
01:45:18,083 --> 01:45:21,541
THE IUVENTA RUSTED IN THE PORT OF TRAPANI.

1627
01:45:21,625 --> 01:45:26,375
IN 2024, IT WAS RETURNED
TO "JUGEND RETTET" AS A WRECK.

1628
01:45:27,125 --> 01:45:31,875
MANY MEMBERS OF THE IUVENTA CREW
REMAINED ACTIVE DESPITE THE CHARGES

1629
01:45:31,958 --> 01:45:35,166
AND WORKED
WITH OTHER RESCUE ORGANIZATIONS.

1630
01:45:35,916 --> 01:45:38,458
IN 2020, THE IUVENTA CREW WAS AWARDED

1631
01:45:38,541 --> 01:45:43,291
THE AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL
HUMAN RIGHTS PRIZE FOR THEIR WORK.

1632
01:45:44,125 --> 01:45:51,125
THEIR STORY INSPIRED MANY OTHERS
TO HELP PEOPLE IN NEED.

1633
01:45:52,333 --> 01:45:57,208
THIS FILM IS DEDICATED TO ALL THE PEOPLE
WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN,

1634
01:45:57,291 --> 01:46:00,625
TO THOSE WHO SURVIVED,
AND TO ALL THOSE WHO HELPED THEM.

1635
01:46:05,166 --> 01:46:10,250
23,000 LIVES

1636
01:52:03,541 --> 01:52:08,541
