LAST HIJACK is a true tale of survival in Somalia told from the pirate's perspective. Combining animation with documentary storytelling, the film takes an innovative hybrid approach to explore how one Somali pirate - Mohamed - came to live such a brutal and dangerous existence. Animated re-enactments exploring Mohamed's memories, dreams and fears from his point of view are juxtaposed with raw footage from his everyday life in an original non-fiction narrative. Somalia is the worldwide capital of piracy, and Mohamed is one of Somalia's most experienced pirates. But in his homeland, a failed state, Mohamed is just another middle-aged man trying to make ends meet. Far removed from the glamour and adventure of the pirates of books and movies, Somali pirates face increasing scrutiny and stigmatization both at home and abroad. Now Mohamed is engaged and both his parents and his in-laws pressure him to change his ways before the big wedding day. Mohamed senses that the golden age of piracy may be coming to an end, and with pressure mounting to provide for his loved ones, he must decide whether to risk everything for one last hijack.

Movie Reviews

Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Elise NakhnikianIt intriguingly invites us to think about the mundane forces that can drive a seemingly ordinary guy like Mohamed to do something so desperate and cruel as piracy.
AV Club - 8/10 by David EhrlichDespite providing a sober and hauntingly frustrated glimpse into a world that most Western eyes will never get to see for themselves, this portrait of life as a Somali pirate is limited by what the camera can't see.
The Dissolve - 8/10 by Sheila O’MalleyThe dark, surreal animation unearths the personal side of the story: its nightmarish aspect and traumas. It elevates the film into a portrait of an unspeakable tragedy.
Compuserve - 8/10 by Harvey S. KartenWith intriguing use of animation, this doc reminds us that pirates may be ordinary citizens struggling to make a living.
The Playlist - 8/10 by Oktay Ege KozakA unique filmgoing experience that’s both intellectually stimulating and emotionally rewarding.
We Got This Covered - 8/10 by Jordan AdlerMixing animation and documentary in evocative ways, Last Hijack is an illuminating look at the thrill and the toll of Somali piracy.
RTÉ (Ireland) - 8/10 by Paddy KehoeRelentlessly brooding and engaging, it is certainly worth seeing.
The Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by Deborah YoungThe story of Mohamed, who leaves behind his normal life for the money and excitement of piracy, is illuminating, even if he is never a terribly sympathetic character that the viewer can warm up to.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Alan ScherstuhlThe filmmakers have gotten extraordinary access to Mohamed and ravaged Somalia... But it's disappointing that they did not capture more scenes of Mohamed's wife and her family, who in the end are the ones who make the most momentous decision.
Variety - 6/10 by Jay WeissbergHulsing’s illustrations suggest a depth to pirate Mohamed Nura that remains hidden in the flesh.
