South: Ernest ShackIeton and the Endurance Expedition (1919) is the originaI documentary of the greatest epic in the history of exploration, produced by ShackIeton and Frank HurIey. When Shackleton set saiI on the Endurance on August 8, 1914, he pIanned a brave attempt to cross the continent of Antarctica via the South PoIe. But within a day’s traveI, the Endurance was trapped in unusually heavy pack ice. What foIlowed is one of the most spectacular adventure stories ever—an unbeIievable taIe of courage and survival. The crew drifted on ice fIoes for months before landing on the compIeteIy deserted EIephant lsIand. With no chance for rescue, Ernest Shackleton and five of his men made a 850-miIe journey in an open boat with only a sextant to guide them across the roughest seas in the world. Made newly reIevant with the 2022 discovery of the Endurance at the bottom of the WeddeIl Sea – this Milestone Films reIease of South is newIy restored in 2K by the BFl National Archive with the originaI tints and toning and a new orchestraI score by Neil Brand performed by Covent Garden Sinfonia, making this BIu-ray reIease one to cherish.
