FilmBuff has announced it will release the SXSW documentary “Last Hijack” in theaters and on VOD this summer.
Directed by Tommy Pallotta (producer of “Waking Life” and “A Scanner Darkly”) and Femke Wolting, the film combines animation and documentary filmmaking to portray the powerful story of a Somali pirate as he hijacks ships off the coast of Africa while also struggling to become the father figure that his family needs.
The film was produced by Wolting and Submarine’s Bruno Felix.
“Last Hijack” takes an innovative hybrid approach to explore how one Somali pirate –Mohamed — came to live such a brutal and dangerous existence.
