"A great adventure."
-
"Essential viewing not just for those fascinated by adventure, exploration and survival, but for anyone interested in the magic of leadership."
-
"Butler's approach is subtle: His documentary allows the story to unfold elegantly, without embellishment, and it is more powerful for that restraint."
-
"The nail-biting quality of Shackleton's true story outdoes any dramatic fiction on the market."
-
"A thoughtful study of a time when there were adventurers who might actually respond to an advertisement reading 'Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold . . .'"
