Climate change opens a passage into a previously inaccessible fjord in Greenland and a diverse group of scientists and artists voyage there to study the animals, search for archeological remains, take samples of the permafrost, and muse on the meaning of life. I loved the mix of science and art, and the humour and irony so seldom seen in a scientific documentary.
Did it ultimately work? The scenery was breathtaking - rugged and imposing - while the philosophizing was opaque, at least to me and one of the other characters in the movie. I think this would have been better at 60 minutes than it was at 90 minutes.
