Publisher's Synopsis
Discovery Channel documentary exploring the true story that inspired the Hollywood blockbuster 'Captain Phillips' (2013). When Somali pirates boarded US cargo ship the Maersk Alabama in April 2009 it signalled the beginning of a frantic few days for the ship's captain, Richard Phillips. Taken hostage in a lifeboat as the pirates fled, Captain Phillips was finally rescued by the U.S. Navy after a four-day ordeal.
