The International Film Series presents A Hijacking on Friday, Sept. 27 and Sunday, Sept. 29.  This 2012 Danish film conveys the story of Somali pirates seizing a Danish freighter in the Indian Ocean, demanding millions in ransom. Meanwhile, miles away, the shipping company CEO receives word of the situation and attempts to take control of negotiations. With the lives of the terrified crew hanging in the balance, the lack of a clear resolution finds them coming apart psychologically, and the pirates growing increasingly agitated.
