Amundsen
Not the story of a hero
Directed by Espen Sandberg
Produced by Motion Blur, Film i Väst
A sobering historical drama that deconstructs the myth of polar exploration heroism, tracing one man's obsessive ambition and its human cost.
The story of Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, the leader of the first expedition to reach the South Pole in 1911, and the first person to reach both the North and South Poles in 1926. Follows his all-consuming drive as a polar explorer and the tragedy he brought on himself and others by sacrificing everything in the icy wastelands to achieve his dream.
