"George Butler’s compelling documentary incorporates much of the footage from South, through to the destruction of The Endurance. Thereafter, a combination of contemporary reconstruction, still photography and interviews with descendants of the expedition’s survivors bring the story to a close. The result tells an extraordinary feat of survival and maritime daring, but one that stops short of telling Shackleton’s full story, the post-expedition failures and foolhardy restlessness that would lead to his death at the scene of his greatest endeavour."
