Styx

[Available on various VOD platforms.] When a kindhearted German emergency room physician (Susanne Wolff) decides to vacation on her 12-meter Asa Gray yacht to sail from Gibraltar to Ascension Island and encounters a horrific storm in the South Atlantic in Wolfgang Fischer's tense, engaging, heartbreaking, well-acted, down-to-Earth, 95-minute, 2018 film, she ends up rescuing a young African boy (Gedion Odour Wekesa) who swam to her vessel from an overcrowded, damaged fishing trawler carrying more than 100 health-compromised refugees off the African coast trying to reach Europe and desperately seeks help from a surprisingly slow-to-respond Coastguard.
