Synopsis by Jinko Labitag
In 1973, Mexican anthropologist Santiago Genovés concocted a plan that would put 10 willing participants on a raft that would undertake a 101-day trans-Atlantic voyage, all in the name of finding out how violence and sex play out when humans are confined in a small place. The documentary, directed by Marcus Lindeen, presents the story of Acali, the raft, and its occupiers through two timelines - the past and the present, and it uncovers new relationships and connections forged within the small confines of the craft that flew under Genovés’ radar.
