I Once Dreamed About This Boat 2026

Directed by Cecilia Palmeri

Factanza Media and SOS MEDITERRANEE present the screening of the new documentary "I Once Dreamed About This Boat." The central Mediterranean is the world's deadliest migration route. Every day, humanitarian ships like the Ocean Viking attempt to save lives, increasingly hampered by bans, attacks, and political pressure. "I Once Dreamed About This Boat" provides an inside look, through the voices of the crew and survivors, at what it means to rescue, to resist, and to never give up believing in the universal value of humanity. Because understanding what happens when saving lives risks becoming a crime means understanding our times and the future that awaits us.
