476 Boarded. 304 Never Left. Here's Why

On April 16, 2014, the MV Sewol passenger ferry began to sink in perfectly calm waters off the coast of South Korea. There was no storm, no explosion, and no collision. Yet, out of the 476 people on board, 304 lost their lives—the majority of them high school students on a field trip. Why did a routine voyage turn into one of the most devastating maritime tragedies in modern history? Because as the ship was capsizing, passengers were repeatedly told to stay inside their cabins.
Welcome to Silent Waters. In this documentary, we break down the fatal chain of human errors and mechanical failures that doomed the MV Sewol. We analyze the illegal structural modifications that made the ferry dangerously top-heavy, the chronic overloading of cargo, and the catastrophic collapse of leadership that saw the captain abandon his own sinking ship while hundreds were left trapped.
