Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on real 2018 incidents where EU ships were ordered to return refugees to Libyan militias, violating maritime law. The show was developed with actual rescue NGOs.
The ship was a decommissioned ferry — the production couldn't afford a real cruise liner, so they built most interiors on a docked vessel in Naples harbor.
