Powerful tale of cowardice and redemption, based on Joseph Conrad's classic novel. During a hurricane, a seaman abandons his ship and its passengers to save himself. Many die horribly, and the sailor knows that he will always be branded a coward. Much later, when he takes on a job transporting dynamite upriver to a tribe rebelling against oppression, he hopes that the perilous task will lead to spiritual regeneration.
