Directed by award-winning filmmaker David Hintonhis, this 60-minute documentary explores the Cape Farewell Project, an organization of artists, scientists, and educators that makes expeditions to the Arctic Circle on a 100-year-old schooner, braving temperatures of -35ºC in order to "sail right into the heart of the debate" of climate change. The film compiles more than 200 hours of footage with an eerie soundtrack (made from live recordings of the bearded walrus by sound artist Max Eastley), sweeping landscapes on the top of the world, and interviews with artists like Turner Prize-winner Rachel Whiteread.
