ENCOUNTERS at the End of the World is the bank holiday weekend treat from Harbour Lights.
There is a hidden society at the end of the world. One thousand men and women live together in unbelievably close quarters in Antarctica, risking their lives and sanity in search of cutting-edge science.
Now, for the first time, an outsider has been admitted. Film maker Werner Herzog, accompanied only by his cameraman, travels to the Antarctic community of McMurdo Station, the hub of the US Antarctic programme, and into the heart of one of the most remote places on earth.
Over the course of his journey, Herzog examines human nature and Mother Nature, juxtaposing breathtaking locations with the profound, surreal and often absurd experiences of the marine biologists, physicists, plumbers and truck drivers who form this unique community.
Encounters at the End of the World is a visually stunning exploration of the raw beauty of a land of fire, ice and corrosive solitude.
