One last adventure, part 1/8

A story about Sir Ernest Shackleton

This is no film, but a short story I wrote a few years back about polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. It is illustrated in my own drawings, as well as original footage combined with shots from the films "The Endurance" (2000 White Mountain Films), "Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure (2001, White Mountain Films/NOVA) as well as the A&E TV-series "Shackleton" (2002). The story, set around ship's surgeon Alexander Macklin, is not mainly about the great adventure, but about that which sprung out of it, as Macklin travels back south with Shackleton on the "Quest", remembering the "Endurance" expedition. Please note that English is not my first language, if any errors may annoy you.

Thank you so much for this very different point of view on the Shackleton story. One might think an author could not wring another drop of heart's blood from it, but you have. It is sensitive, and leaves the viewer spaces in which to feel what the filmmaker wants me to feel. The narration by a woman, and a British woman, is a perfect choice. It rolls somewhat like a very long home movie - not that it is amateurish, which it is not - but because it connects me to these men I want to be more like.

Thank you very much! The whole idea with this story was not to focus on the adventure, but on the minds of the men and the friendship. It's very nice to hear that you like it!
