“Beyond the Raging Sea,” an extreme sea adventure documentary aimed at raising awareness of the global refugee crisis, is set for a wide theatrical release across the Mena region via Arab marketing and distribution company Mad Solutions and Middle East exhibitor Vox Cinemas.
The deal between the two companies and the International Emerging Film Talent Assn. (Iefta), a not-for-profit organization that supported the doc, was announced at the Efm.
It marks a rare case of a specialty title getting major theatrical play in the region.
The doc, directed by Marco Orsini (“Dinner at the No-Gos”) and made under the patronage of the Un Refugee Agency, follows two Egyptians, Omar Samra and Omar Nour (affectionately known as O2), on their 3,000-mile journey from the Canary Islands to Antigua.
The doc premiered at Egypt’s El Gouna Film Festival to positive reviews and will have its official market premiere at the Efm on Monday.

This documentary not only grips the audience in fear and excitement, but it transmits an energy to the audience in a way I have not witnessed before. This energy is brought to the forefront by the vivid descriptions of the ordeal as related by the two Omars.
Making its World Premiere at Gff, Marco Orsini’s Beyond The Raging Sea follows the harrowing tale of two Egyptian adventurers, Omar Samra and Omar Nour (affectionately known as O2), as they take on the world’s toughest row, an unsupported, perilous 3,000 nautical mile journey from the Canary Islands to Antigua. The extreme journey is part of an annual ocean-rowing race called the Atlantic Challenge. They didn’t make it.
Eight days, and 500 miles into their journey across the Atlantic, Team O2 was hit by 45 knot winds and towering waves that caused their boat to capsize — their boat did not self-right as it was meant to do.
