New York City
If Robert Falcon Scott had beaten his Norwegian rival to the South Pole and returned in glory, he might have been forgotten. It’s the failure of his valiant expedition that has touched the hearts of successive generations. From the glittering halls of English society to the vast ice shelf of Antarctica, his story unfolds, and the exploding flame of the Southern Lights catches every stunning moment. As his passionate young wife observes from a place of pure fantasy, Scott and his men push the limits of endurance, bound by his sense of honor in a race toward a destiny that is doomed, and yet–ultimately–life affirming. Martin Benson directs Terra Nova, by Ted Tally.
