The Struma is a haunting documentary that encapsulates a tragic moment in history. It revolves around the harrowing journey of Jewish refugees in 1941, crammed into a small boat, the Struma, desperately seeking safety in Palestine. The film's pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of their plight to sink in. You really feel the tension as they drift, stuck in Istanbul Harbor, caught in the political machinations of the time. The stark visuals and the raw emotions of the survivors create a somber atmosphere that lingers long after watching. It's not just about the boat; it’s about human desperation, resilience, and the moral dilemmas faced by those who chose neutrality. A raw, unflinching look at a chapter that deserves remembrance.
