Movie Description
A group of stowaways on a ship bound for America are discovered by the Russian crew and taken prisoner by the ship's alcoholic captain. Not wanting to risk his career for stowaways, the captain orders his prisoners killed one by one, and when one threatens the diabolical plan by escaping, the entire crew sets out to find--and eliminate--the troublemaker. Based on a true story.

Their dream was to make it to the United States and start new lives. However, once at sea, they were terrorized by the boat's racist white crew, who tortured and killed most of them...
