Summary:

"Lifeboat showcases refugees desperate enough to risk their lives in rubber boats leaving Libya in the middle of the night despite a high probability of drowning. With few resources but certain that civil society must intervene, volunteers from a German non-profit risk the waves of the Mediterranean to pluck refugees from sinking rafts ... Lifeboat puts a human face on one of the world's greatest contemporary global crises and provides a spark of hope surrounding how civil society can intervene in the refugee crisis in a meaningful way"--Container.
