Full Plot Details

Stolen Seas presents a chilling exploration of the Somali pirate phenomenon and forces you to rethink everything you thought you knew about pirates. It's November 8th, 2008 and the CEC Future, a Danish-owned merchant ship, is on high alert. Sailing inside the pirate-infested swath of sea between Somalia and Yemen, the ship's captain blinks hard at the radar screen where a light begins to flash. This is it, Nozhkin thinks, and he's right. Machine guns sound on the boat's hull and for two months this 13-man crew will be held at the mercy of Somali pirates, helpless as hostage negotiations threaten their lives and cameras capture every move. The pirates' translator, Ishmael Ali, a single dad who may or may not have stumbled into this controversial role, puts in a call to the shipping magnate's CEO Per Gullestrup demanding an exorbitant 7 million dollars. The shipowner's response is the first of many misfires and communications to come. These two adversaries will have to become unlikely allies as they race against time in an attempt to keep the crew from being killed by their violent captors. Stolen Seas documents the story of 13 powerless men trapped on a ship, and why their captors feel justified in their tyranny. It's the story of a Somali translator who get's in over his head -trying to give his son a chance. With first hand accounts from leading experts on the subject refuting the common misconceptions, Stolen Seas explores theories of what drives a country to piracy, from every point of view. It is a film about a country on the brink, at the mercy of global capitalism in overdrive, and young boys with nothing to loose.

Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Omer M. MozaffarThymaya Payne's Stolen Seas is a documentary of such ambitious scope that you might need a remote control and a notebook to keep up with it.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Omer MozaffarA documentary of such ambitious scope that you might need a remote control and a notebook to keep up with it.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by J. R. JonesDigs deep into the subject of piracy, arguing that it's less an anachronism than a sign of the times.
Village Voice - 7/10 by Alan ScherstuhlThe protracted 2008 ship-napping of the CEC Future...is couched in illuminating context.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Glenn WhippWhat really elevates the film, though, is the crucial context that Payne provides to explain — but not justify — the pirates' actions.
The Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by Sheri LindenThe documentary Stolen Seas is not just a high-energy chronicle of a ship's hijacking; Thymaya Payne's bold debut feature steps back for a view of Somali piracy that's both broader and more incisive than most mainstream news coverage.
WBAI Radio - 6/10 by Prairie MillerWith his much more than meets the eye pursuit of raw unfiltered truth, Payne navigates the turbulent waters of piracy, as it has been impacted by the legacy of colonialism and rebellion, and the military hardware industry profiteering also kicking in.
Time Out - 6/10 by Andrew SchenkerAn admirably balanced, wide-ranging look at the phenomenon of Somali high-seas piracy.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisA documentary that yearns to be an adventure movie, Stolen Seas can't resist drowning its invaluable insights in thundering, drum-heavy music and flashing visuals. Magnificent in its thoroughness and nuance, this dense, multifaceted study of Somali piracy really needs to settle down.
Variety - 6/10 by Peter DebrugeAssembled from three years’ worth of visits to one of the world’s most volatile hot zones, the format of Stolen Seas is as every bit as exciting as its content, raising beguiling questions about how the team managed to acquire the footage so stunningly interwoven by editor Garret Price.
