SOUTH (1919) with reading by Paul McGann
Only slightly less miraculous than the eventual rescue of Ernest Shackleton’s entire crew was the survival of incredible footage shot by Frank Hurley and later assembled into South, a gripping travelogue recently restored from surviving prints and original glass slides. The film is a fascinating record of Sir Ernest Shackleton's 1914-16 Polar expedition.
