Beyond the Pole

Just a quick blog to let you know about a film I saw recently.

Their own synopsis of the film is below.  It's set in the Arctic as two utterly unprepared idealistic young men decide to attempt the North Pole not only unsupported, but as a "carbon neutral, organic and vegetarian expedition".  It manages a good balance of poking fun at the overly-zealous climate camp without losing sight of the serious side to the debate.

For me though - and anyone else interested in (or going to) the Arctic or Antarctic - it's just a lot of fun!

"BEYOND THE POLE is Touching the Void with laughs, and Withnail and I on ice.  Funny and subversive it’s the story of two men trying to find their place in the world before the end of the world.  And it asks one question of us all: how far would you go to save the planet?"
