Ice Breaker (2005) (NR)

synopsis

The Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker Henry Larsen sets sail from St. John's, Newfoundland on a six-week tour through iceberg-infested waters with a crew of 40. Not only have Jody Shapiro and David Best captured the special group dynamics that the ship's close quarters breeds but also a powerful portrait of the icy sea itself -- its fearsome beauty, awesome power and quiet sadness.
