Encounters At the End of the World

Werner Herzog’s (“Grizzly Man,” “Rescue Dawn”) Encounters At The End Of The World is a visually stunning exploration to the Antarctica community of McMurdo Station, the hub of the U.S. Antarctic program, population 1100. Over the course of his journey, Herzog examines human nature and Mother nature, juxtaposing breathtaking locations with the profound, surreal, and sometimes absurd experiences of the marine biologists, physicists, plumbers, and truck drivers who choose to form a society as far away from society as one can get.
