7:45 NORTH WEST PASSAGE - ON FRANKLIN'S TRAIL (Ireland)
Directed and produced by John Murray
Sailing a small boat through the Northwest Passage is one of the
truly great challenges left on earth. The film follows an Irish crew
of eight men as they cross the Atlantic and force a passage through
to the Pacific on a three month adventure. They travel through a
spectacular Arctic world of ice, mountains and frozen wastes, a
world that had mysteriously swallowed up the expedition of John
Franklin 150 years earlier.
