In Kareem Mortimer‘s Cargo, a Bahamian Fisherman, with a gambling addiction, takes a job smuggling Haitians to Florida in a desperate ploy to support his family. Chaos ensues.
Warren Brown and Omar J. Dorsey star in the film being released in limited theaters and on VOD platforms May 30th.
Bloody Disgusting now has the trailer and three pieces of poster art for the thriller to go along with the full 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.”
