The film looks at men and women of color in the U.S. Merchant Marine from 1938-1975. Through chronicling the lives of these men and women who, with a median age of 82, are beset with a host of life-threatening illnesses, the movie tells how they navigated issues of racism, disparities in the workplace, gender and familial relations.

Great Film overall
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
