Synopsis

Director: Holly Morris
Producers: Michael Kovnat, Jill Mazursky, Holly Morris, Eleanor Wilson
89 min, USA, 2022

As the polar ice caps melt, travel to the Arctic has become increasingly treacherous. But 11 women from across Arab and Western countries join together with the audacious goal of reaching the North Pole before it becomes impossible to do so. Award-winning director Holly Morris (The Babushkas of Chernobyl) treks along with this daring and eclectic group of fearless explorers, many of whom who are novices in polar exploration, as they navigate grueling physical conditions, from cracking ice floes and punishing frostbite, as well as their own cultural differences in this thrilling story of adventure, female empowerment, and global unity. “Visually stunning” (Film Threat) and “a triumph, delight and joy” (Chicago Tribune), Exposure is “an evocative portrait of human endurance, and how climate change is affecting one of the world's most alluring, and deadly, places” (CBS News).
