Synopsis
"The true story of Captain Richard Phillips and the 2009 hijacking by Somali pirates of the US-flagged MV Maersk Alabama, the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in two hundred years." [IMDb]
Between very poor Somalian fishermen and rich American sailors, there is a very large gap. Some day, this gap will be closed, but not through piracy. Pirates on the high seas will have a difficult time in the modern era when the earth has become like one country.
