Review of Encounters at the End of the World (2007) by Micah G — 18 Dec 2008
Originally I wasn't interesting in another documentary of the frozen tundra, but this one is so much more than that. This is a movie about the people who live in a little colony in the southern most point of the world, studying the world around them in the unforgiving cold.
Sure there are animals, but that isn't the focus. Surviving and building a whole town out of nothing takes a special kind of person. The narration was thoughtful, albeit a little condescending or sardonic in favor of the scientists when comparing them to society as a whole.
I'd see this one again.
