A poignant, hard-hitting tale for our times, exploring complicity in the face of catastrophe, inspired by the true story of a French naval officer who disregarded distress calls from migrants perishing in the English Channel. In November 2021, a migrant-filled dinghy capsized, resulting in 27 deaths. Despite pleas for aid, French authorities misdirected the migrants, blaming British waters. Vincent Delecroix's acclaimed 'Small Boat' offers a fictional first-person account of the officer, her futile justifications, and the chilling examination of humanity's darkest threats.
