Encounters at the End of the World

See Antarctica as you have never seen it before in the newest achievement from critically acclaimed filmmaker Werner Herzog. Encounters at the End of the World is a documentary that provides a rare glimpse into the lives of the “dreamers” – the men and women who work and live in the loneliest place on earth.
From McMurdo Station – the largest community in Antarctica – to the scientists, zoologists and physicists studying Antarctic life at their small camps, Herzog interviews these extraordinary men and women who have dedicated themselves to uncovering the mysteries of the largely untouched continent, as well as those “hopeless dreamers” who have simply ended up at “the end of the world.” Encounters was nominated for a 2009 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and contains a haunting score by David Lindley and Henry Kaiser, also producer.
