"Israel warns of an active combat zone, but the boats press forward. Suddenly, water cannons strike, ships vanish from radar, and crews are arrested. Through Carlos and Juliet's firsthand testimony, we witness their harrowing experiences of intimidation, abuse, and imprisonment."
In September 2025, the Global Sumud Flotilla sailed from Barcelona, Tunis, and Sicily with fifty civilian vessels carrying aid and aiming to open a humanitarian corridor to Gaza. Two filmmakers joined the voyage: Carlos Perez on the Hio and Juliet Lamont on the Wahoo.

The journey included sudden water-cannon strikes, ships vanishing from radar, and the arrest of crews. Carlos and Juliet provided firsthand testimony describing intimidation, abuse, and imprisonment during the encounter.
