Synopsis
In December 1919, the 'Soviet Ark' set sail from the United States carrying 249 anarchists and radicals deported by the government. This operation reflected the intense political climate following World War I. Five years later, the same ship became the backdrop for Buster Keaton's comedic film, 'The Navigator'. "Navigators" juxtaposes these two events, using archival footage and expert commentary to illustrate the contrasting legacies of the vessel, from political strife to cinematic creativity.
