National Geographic has released a trailer for its upcoming adventure documentary film Endurance, which will focus on polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton and his sunken ship.
The synopsis or the doc reads: “In a legendary feat of leadership and perseverance, polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton kept alive his crew of 27 men for over a year despite the loss of their ship in frigid pack ice.
“Over a century later, a team of modern-day explorers sets out to find the sunken ship. From National Geographic Documentary Films, Endurance tells the inspiring stories of these two landmark expeditions, bound by their shared grit and determination.”
I love watching these kinds of docs. These stories are fascinating to me, and I appreciate what I learn from them.
The doc comes from directors E. Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin (Free Solo, The Rescue, Wild Life, Nyad). It is also co-directed by the British doc filmmaker Natalie Hewit.
Disney will release Endurance on Disney+ on November 2nd, 2024.
