Title: The book's better, but this was good.
Product review: My husband, my father and I all read the book and then watched this video. It's amazing to have video at all from over 80 years ago. I did get some of the feel for what it must have been like in the pictures, but there wasn't much from after the Endurance sank, and that is the really gripping part of the story. The reasons are probably hardship related, but that part of the story was sort of skimmed over. Still, it was remarkable to see the footage at all. The stuff from South Georgia was particularly interesting and amazing. But I have to say, I'm glad I read the book first. My five kids (aged 4 to 11) did sit through it, so that's some kind of vote for the cinematography.
