The Last Continent
20081 h 45 min 32 secFilm: Documentary
Direction: Jean Lemire
Production: David ReckziegelJean Lemire
Produced by Glacialis Production in association with CBC Television with the participation of the Québec Film and Television Tax Credit - Gestion SODEC, the Canadian Television Fund, the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit, SODEC, Telefilm Canada, the National Film Board of Canada and Rogers Documentary Fund.
Biologist and filmmaker Jean Lemire, accompanied aboard the schooner Sedna
IV by a handpicked team of scientists and filmmakers, dared to experience
climate change and its consequences within Antarctica’s icy grip.
More than a full year of daring, isolation, danger, intensity: it was a
spectacular adventure full of risks and triumphs, joys and perils. The crew
was prepared for the worst but faced even worse!
The Last Continent is
a testament to a human adventure at once chilling and inspiring. The film
alternates between captivating images of deep serenity and spine-tingling
sequences in which the ship’s crew finds itself, time and again, on the edge
of catastrophe.
