I didn't recognize any of the actors in this movie, I don't know what year it was made. Could have been early 90's. And I'm not sure if it was a true story or not.A few (4 to 6) African men sneak on to a ship heading to Quebec (I think); they had planned to find jobs, accommodation and send for their families. They stowed away in some part of the ship that they were sure they wouldn't be found. They were caught anyhow and the French captain (I think) forced the men into the anchor well. For hours and hours they were soaked with the frigid sea water. They began to become ill and begged to be released. The French men played a game with the men in the well, they told them they would be brought out one by one, dried, clothed and fed. So the first one was pulled out of the anchor well. He met a grave death of violence and in the end he was pitched overboard into the icy depths. Each of the next few men were treat the same. But the last one had a brave plan of escape. When they were almost docked he slipped down the anchor chain and hung on to the anchor, he quietly slipped into the water and climbed onto the dock. He ran fast and scared and slammed right into the hood of a police car. Was the soul survivor of a sad sadistic group of of people.
