The Left To Die Boat

Sharon Davis - 360 Documentaries (AUS 2012)

Produced by Sharon Davis - 360 Documentaries (AUS 2012)

54 min

An epic saga of life and death on the Mediterranean.  Sharon Davis investigates how the combined military power of NATO failed to prevent more than 60 people dying on board a small boat as it drifted for 15 days through the most heavily monitored ocean on earth.

This is an account by the survivors, three of whom are now living in Tasmania, of their epic tale of life and death at sea... but there's also a very disturbing twist.  The case of the so called “Left To Die Boat” became the focus of a deepening scandal in Europe involving NATO and some of the world's most powerful nations.
