In August 1914, the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, comprised of 27 men under the leadership of Sir Ernest Shackleton, spot glide from England in the wooden ship ENDURANCE. The thought was to land a team on the Antarctic Continent, and the men to dogsled across the frozen landmass to the other side via the South Pole. However, one day’s wing from the Antarctic shore, the vessel became entrapped in the ice pack, and was subsequently crushed and sunk. Shackleton and his group were stranded on the drifting floes out of contact with and beyond the ken of the rest of the world. The expedition’s grueling, bold run relieve to civilization, culminating in an 800-mile voyage across a stormy, wintry ocean by Shackleton and five companions in a microscopic, commence boat, is the subject of this documentary based on the book by Caroline Alexander.
The spell-binding nature of this film is due to the masterful mix of material from several sources: archival 35mm footage, calm photos and drawings from the expedition itself, narrated excerpts from diaries, radio interviews with survivors and filmed interviews with their descendents, and contemporary film footage shot along the route of the men’s ordeal. One is amazed at the quality of the 35mm captivating images shot by Frank Hurley, the team’s photographer. What you notice is not a re-enactment – it’s proper, and as crisp as if shot only last week instead of almost ninety years ago.
Besides being the visual record of an fabulous survival narrative, ENDURANCE is also a show-and-tell presentation on the essence of leadership. Two years after departing England, Shackleton successfully brought all his 27 men benefit from the brink of extinction. Not a single member of the venture was lost. (Ironically, they arrived encourage in a Europe entangled in the throes of World War One, in which some of the Expedition’s survivors were subsequently killed.)

For a fuller presentation of the subject in text, I would strongly recommend ENDURANCE: SHACKLETON’S Amazing VOYAGE by Alfred Lansing.
This is easily the best documentary I’ve seen since “Crumb” and “Hoop Dreams”. The phrase “triumph of the human spirit” gets thrown around so often these days that it has lost its meaning, but I can’t deem of any other words to recount this fabulous documentary. Even though the anecdote is rather simple and we already know how it ends, I was at the edge of my seat the entire time. It’s unfathomable what these men had to endure during the 2 years, and it’s absolutely unbelievable that even one of them, let alone all, managed to survive.
The breathtaking unusual footages and peaceful photographs are extremely crisp and it’s hard to enjoy that this was shot nearly 9 decades ago. And while the lack of unusual materials during the later stages of their ordeals is a puny disappointing, we can hardly blame them for that. The narration by Liam Neeson is safe as well.
