One of the most acclaimed films of 2019, Styx tells the story of Rike, a successful doctor who sets out on a once in a lifetime boating holiday, sailing alone from Gibraltar to Ascension. After encountering a terrible storm she spots a badly damaged, hopelessly overloaded refugee boat nearby. Does she heed the slow-moving authorities’ terse commands to maintain a distance, or lend the hand her fellow travellers are pleading for?
