Geronimo1967
Using an effective combination of original actuality, archive photography and evocative sketches, this short documentary follows the expeditions of Knud Rasmussen as he explored the colossal island of Greenland. Using dogs and sledges, and a small team of his own as well as the local Inuit (though he refers to them as Eskimo) he braves the beauty and bleakness of this snow-covered land as they head north and then across the interior. Unsurprisingly, there isnt a great deal of moving imagery here, but an animated map gives us some idea as to the scale of their efforts and with glacier slices crashing into the sea and the locals kayaking in the lively waters, we are left with a clear sense of the unaltered nature of the place in the early 20t...
