Summary On February 17th 2010, the Nova Scotia based tall ship Concordia sank 550 km off the coast of Brazil. There were a total of 64 crew and students aboard. Off the coast of Brazil they were knocked down by high winds - which the crew ascribed to a rare meteorological phenomena known as a micro-burst. The ship sank completely beneath the waves within 20 minutes. The next 30 hours were spent in life rafts unsure if rescue officials knew about their situation and waiting to be rescued. Due to their thorough safety training, strong leadership, and teamwork, everyone made it home safely. The documentary is told from the perspective of the students and the crew and describes what it's like to be aboard a tall ship that unexpectedly sinks, the nerve wracking wait to be rescued, and the impact that it has on a person's outlook on life.
