Directed by Anthony Powell
Year: 2013

Antarctica is one of the most inhospitable places for humans on our planet. Yet, people live there. Most of them are scientists, performing various experiments and collecting samples, but some of them are ordinary people, tasked with keeping the habitats in order and maintaining the equipment needed for everyday life in such harsh conditions. This is their story. Anthony Powell filmed the material for 15 years and most of it have never been seen before. As a Frozen Planet photographer, he had almost unlimited access to the station and its people. Ever wondered what it would be like to spend a winter in Antarctica? Here’s your chance.
