The Costa Concordia ran aground off the Italian island of Giglio in 2012 after Captain Francesco Schettino steered the cruise liner too close to shore, capsizing the ship and killing 32 people. This film mixes journalistic reporting with a satirical edge to pick apart how a modern luxury vessel with thousands aboard could founder in calm, shallow water so close to land. It walks through the timeline of the wreck, the chaotic evacuation, and the fallout that followed, including the scrutiny Schettino faced for leaving the ship before passengers were off. Archival news footage and interviews sit alongside a pointed commentary track that treats the disaster as a case study in corporate and individual failure rather than a straightforward maritime tragedy. The tone shifts between hard fact and dry mockery of the decisions that led to the wreck, using the absurdity of the situation, a grounded cruise ship visible from the beach, to underline how preventable the whole event was.
