There are two reasons I want to see the new film , a 44-minute-long documentary that chronicles the 89-day, 1,400-mile journey of James Castrission and Justin Jones from Antarctica's Hercules Inlet to the South Pole and back. Number one, the movie racked up a bunch of awards at the , including the , the award, and the award.
“The category for Best Film on Exploration and ϳԹ had plenty of
excellent contenders, but there was one film that shone above the rest,” said jury member Dale Templar. “Crossing the Ice
encapsulates the true spirit of adventure that this award was designed
to embrace. This is a film with perfect storytelling featuring
incredible characters—a 'bro-mance'. It’s a story that conveyed
unbridled enthusiasm, humor, and heartbreak created by the filmmakers
and the loveable lunatics who walked unaided across Antarctica to the
South Pole and back.”
The second reason is the short, 49-second YouTube clip embedded above. In one brief moment, the clip captures the essence of Templar's review—by showing what must be considered one of the most creative sacrifices ever made on an Antarctic expedition.
