Endurance

Synopsis

This dual-narrative National Geographic documentary is an expedition-within-an expedition: archive footage which has been restored to astonishing effect shows the original voyage of explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew in 1915 as they attempt to cross Antarctica, while in the modern day a team of researchers from the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust seek to find his shipwrecked vessel, named Endurance. Shackleton's historical expedition which took place over a century ago is brought to life with modern AI and film technology and is juxtaposed with a team of modern-day explorers led by Dr John Shears as they use advancements in science and engineering to undertake an incredible mission of their own. An astonishing story of human resilience and discovery in the remotest corner of the world.
