COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Arctic Exploration submitted by Meginator on July 20, 2017, 10:23am These documentaries are well-produced, relatively straightforward accounts of John Franklin's ill-fated 1845 Arctic expedition and Roald Amundsen's successful 1903 navigation of the Northwest passage. Both documentaries effectively balance narration, interview clips, and reenactments to tell these stories, and they complement one another well when watched in succession.
