An engine fire leaves 4,000 passengers stranded at sea without power and plumbing in this wild documentary about the infamous "poop cruise" of 2013.
This documentary covers the infamous 2013 Carnival Triumph disaster with reasonable narrative structure, recounting the harrowing and absurd conditions aboard the stranded ship. The subject matter is inherently compelling and somewhat novel as disaster documentaries go, but the execution is fairly standard TV-doc style with talking-head interviews and archival footage. Cinematography is limited by the nature of the event and reliance on amateur passenger footage. The ending, while historically resolved, doesn't offer much reflective depth beyond the immediate crisis conclusion.
