Werner Herzog Retrospective: Get the ultimate education on one of documentary's greatest auteurs.
One thousand men and women live together in unbelievably close quarters in Antarctica, risking their lives and sanity in search of cutting-edge scientific discoveries. Now, for the first time, an outsider has been admitted. In this Academy Award–nominated doc, Werner Herzog traveled to Antarctica and brought the poetic, sly and deeply insightful voiceover style that he is so well-known for today. Exploring one of the most breathtaking places on earth, Herzog captures images both beautiful and strange, never missing an opportunity to juxtapose the overwhelming presence of natural wonders with the smallness of the humans in their midst. Over the course of his journey, Herzog examines human nature and mother nature, sharing profound, surreal and sometimes absurd stories from the marine biologists, physicists, plumbers and truck drivers who chose to form a society as far away from society as one can get.
