Composed of breathtaking images and cheeky bits of humor, Dencik's travelogue reveals a journey with curious traces of the past, eye-popping encounters with a wild present and — in discovering an oil company's ship in the group's midst — a weighted reminder of our future as stewards of the Earth.

Dencik’s gorgeous, surprising, meditative film opens up one of the world’s last unknown places, and it will also make you want to befriend every Dane you can. Read full review

There’s an introspective quality here, and the gorgeous vistas tilt toward melancholy rather than educational. All on board are curiously resigned to mankind’s death by environment, and take the long view that another life form will one day take our place. Read full review
