Preview offered as part of BFI London Film Festival 2024.
In a legendary feat of leadership and perseverance, Antarctic explorer 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 and directed by Chai Vasarhelyi, Jimmy Chin and Natalie Hewit, ENDURANCE threads together the inspiring stories of these two landmark expeditions, bound by their shared grit and determination.
We're delighted to welcome maritime archaeologist Peta Knott for an in-person introduction before this special LFF preview screening at the Little. Peta will share some insights into the reality of searching for shipwrecks from her personal experience and, as a professional in the field, Peta will highlight the maritime archaeology aspects of the film Endurance.
Find out how anyone can get involved with preserving our threatened maritime heritage – whether it is 1,000m under ice, or on your local beach.
