Endurance

American premiere. In a legendary feat of leadership and perseverance, Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton kept alive his crew of 27 men for over a year despite the loss of their ship, the Endurance, crushed by a frigid ice pack in 1915. Over a century later, a team of modern-day explorers set out to find the sunken ship. The film weaves together the Shackleton survival story and the search for the wreck of the Endurance at the bottom of the Weddell Sea. The Shackleton story uses restored and colorized footage that was shot in 1915, while the contemporary expedition is shot verite’ style with interviews explaining Shackelton’s ill-fated mission.

Introduction, Q&A with local resident Bob Eisenhardt, editor and co-producer of the film.
