Simshar is a very amazing movie that really makes you think about the immigration that is going on in Malta. There are many different opinions that look into the immigration, yet many of them are very biased. As everyone in Malta hates anyone that comes into the country on a boat or however they make it into the country. The story starts off with the Red Cross and they eventually travel out on boat to a fishing boat that went and picked up many different African immigrants that are trying to make it to Europe. They have to stay on the boat until the decision has been made as to where they will be placed, either in Italy or Malta. The decision was eventually made and they were transported to Malta, where there was an outrage outside of the camp, but throughout that whole experience the opinion of the Red Cross man was changed completely. He realized that the immigrants do nothing wrong, and they have to suffer throughout it all. This is not even the main story, as the main story focuses on the fishermen and their life. They illegally fish for tuna, and eventually sneak out with the dad, grandpa, son, and worker on the boat and go very far out. A fire starts in the engine, and the boat explodes. The grandpa is killed, and the others make it in the water. There are many rescue opportunities that occur, but none are successful until the end, where the son and the worker have died, and the dad is the only one left alive. Before this, an insane thing that completely changed my mind on immigration, is when a boat saw them in the water, but turned around as they didn't want to pick up any immigrants and stop their fishing operation. To me that is amazing, yet I understand. I recommend you see this movie.
