Sentinelese boy adrift, rescued by Burmese slave on Thai poaching vessel stranded near North Sentinel Island. Poachers trapped, Indian coast guard approaching as tribe threatens. Time running out to escape territorial waters.
Offshore India's infamous North Sentinel Island, a Sentinelese boy has been pulled out to sea and is helplessly out of reach from his tribal band. The primitive child is rescued by a Burmese fishing slave and taken aboard a Thai-contracted vessel that has run aground while poaching the restricted surrounding waters. Defenseless against the hostile tribe with the Indian coast guard closing in, the trapped poachers are running out of time and options to escape into international waters.—Muybridge
