23 000 Leben

In the gripping drama 23 000 Leben, a group of young people embark on an unlikely mission to save the lives of refugees by sailing to the Mediterranean Sea. Over the course of 16 missions, they rescue more than 23,000 people, braving countless setbacks and facing increasing political pressure as their actions are misconstrued by authorities. The film's title, derived from the Iuventa, the name given to the search-and-rescue ship that operated in the central Mediterranean Sea during this period, is a testament to the dedication and courage of these young volunteers.
