threat and horror
Scenes of threat run throughout, as colourised footage and dramatic reenactments show the members of an expedition struggling for survival in harsh conditions. Occasional references are made to the physical toll and high risk of death, but the ending is reassuring and uplifting.
language
Very mild bad language includes ‘God’ and ‘flipping’.
discrimination
In an archive interview, an explorer and filmmaker says he recorded footage of ‘primitive Aboriginal life’ in Australia.
injury detail
A short reenactment shows explorers preparing to amputate their comrade’s frostbitten toes, followed by a undetailed shot of a severed toe. Another scene features a photograph of real dead bodies on a battlefield, without visible blood or injury detail. Colourised footage from the early 20th century contains brief sight of a partially butchered whale corpse. A person is shown vomiting from illness.
theme
There are upsetting verbal accounts of Shackleton’s men’s distress at having to shoot animals for food. A man speaks very briefly about the loss of his wife to cancer.
