In the 16th century, slave trade decimated much of West of Africa causing long lasting devastation and disruption. The 21st century migration out of Africa seems to be following a similar path. At the centre of both are the people who benefit financially- slave catchers of old and fixers nowadays. Our fixer, xxx, takes us to the inside of his business as he mobilizes a group of youth for a voyage. The boat is captained by xxx, who risks his own life on a small boat that will cross the ocean. The film draws parallels, highlighting similarities and differences and asking the questions: Why is it taking place today? Are the experiences and results the same? On the one hand is the involuntary migration of the slaves in shackles being forced to the Western countries for unpaid labour then, and the contemporary voluntary migration to Western countries that is happening now – this time as cheap labour. Today migrants disregard the dangers, warnings, authorities, and the reality of not being welcomed with open arms but yet spend a fortune and risk their lives to get to Europe by irregular means, crossing the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea.
