Review of The Other Side of the Ice (2013) by Jeff M — 28 Mar 2013

I am so impressed by this documentary and found myself being drawn into an intimate and understated portrait of a family coming together after years of separation and estrangement. Imagine being isolated on a 57' vessel in one of the most challenging environments anywhere in the world.

Surrounded by the dramatic beauty and power of nature, where few have transited successfully. The family and crew must put aside past disappointments and heartache to focus on survival. In the process, relationships are transformed and a new basis for going forward is established.

Seldom do we have an opportunity to witness such an honest and sensitive portrayal of a man and his family's innermost feelings in a state of transition.
