As part of THE GREEN, Sundance Channel presents a series of documentary films focusing on timely and pressing environmental issues of the day.
From St. John's, Newfoundland, to Thule, Greenland, the Henry Larsen, Canada's most active Coast Guard ice-breaker, patrols the world's largest coastline, ensuring the safety of mariners in these Arctic waters. Documentarians Jody Shapiro and David Best provide an in-depth look at the Larsen's crew during a full six-week tour of duty, witnessing pecking orders, hazardous search-and-rescue training and extreme isolation. "Beautifully capture[s] the loneliness of the expedition ... [and the] elegiac poetry of the rhythms of the sea" - Toronto Star.
