Seahorse Productions is the creation of Shannon Service, the Director/Producer of Ghost Fleet, a documentary that follows a remarkable hero as she scours remote islands for men who escaped slavery at sea. The film follows Patima and her right hand man, Tun Lin, as they find men who’ve jumped ship and return them home to their families.

The film and VR project have appeared at Sundance, the Toronto International Film Festival, the Telluride Film Festival, the Berlin International Film Festival, Amazon Prime and Apple TV. It was nominated for an Emmy Award in 2019.

Shannon Service is an Edward R. Murrow investigative reporter who has filed for The New York Times, Slate Magazine and The Guardian of London among others. In 2012, she broke the story of slavery at sea for National Public Radio’s Morning Edition.
