- The Somali Project begins with pirates capturing the merchant vessel the Royal Grace and holding its crew for ransom. As the Grace’s hostages and those from dozens of other ships languish under unspeakable conditions, a Persian Gulf state quietly bankrolls a paramilitary force to raid pirate havens and free the captives. The controversial force faces mutiny and murder, and eventually comes face-to-face with elusive pirates in an extraordinary battle captured on film.
