Cohen Media is expected to release their drama IO CAPITANO on VOD and digital platforms next month, arriving on April 9th, 2024. The film world-premiered at the 2023 Venice International Film Festival before launching in US theaters on February 23rd, 2024.

Io capitano was directed by Matteo Garrone, from a screenplay written by Garrone with Massimo Gaudioso, Massimo Ceccherini and Andrea Tagliaferri. The film, an international co-production between Italy, Belgium and France, is based on an original idea by Garrone, inspired by actual stories of migrants' African routes to Europe. Filming took place in Senegal, Morocco and Italy.

It competed for the Golden Lion at the 80th Venice International Film Festival, where it won the Silver Lion for Matteo Garrone's direction and the Marcello Mastroianni Award for Seydou Sarr's performance. The film was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 81st Golden Globe Awards, and Best International Feature Film at the 96th Academy Awards.
