Artist Rights Distribution has unveiled a poster and trailer for Cargo, director Kareem Mortimer’s award-winning people smuggling drama, which stars Warren Brown (Strike Back) and Jimmy Jean Louis (Heroes). Check them out here, along with the official synopsis…
When his income as a fisherman proves woefully insufficient to cover his son’s school fees, Kevin turns to human smuggling in order to raise desperately needed funds. Kevin finds that he’s good at this dangerous yet profitable vocation—good enough to trust himself with smuggling his own girlfriend and her son to the US. But when faced with having to abandon refugees at sea far from Miami shores, Kevin is suddenly forced to reassess his responsibilities. Inspired by true events, Cargo examines the world’s refugee crisis from a very local perspective. The largest Bahamian film project to date, this latest feature from Kareem J. Mortimer is a thrilling, vital call for empathy in troubled times.
Cargo is set for release in U.S. theaters on May 30th.
