A Desperate Man Turns To Human Trafficing In ‘Cargo’

Kareem Mortimer’s award-winning thriller Cargo, starring Warren Brown (”Strike Back”) and Jimmy Jean Louis (”Heroes”), arrives in theaters this May from Artist Rights Distribution. A fisherman transforms into a prolific human smuggler to pay his debts in “a must-see film,” inspired by true events. “When his income as a fisherman proves woefully insufficient to cover his son’s school fees, Kevin turns to human smuggling in order to raise desperately needed funds.
