Passage

With a runtime of 90 minutes, Passage offers a unique perspective on a historical journey filled with drama and exploration. The film intertwines dramatic reenactments with documentary footage, presenting the story of Franklin's crew and their disastrous attempt to find the Northwest Passage.

The narrative delves into the dark outcomes faced by the crew, including madness and cannibalism, as reported by Scottish doctor John Rae. Rae's findings sparked controversy and a public campaign against him, led by Lady Franklin and Charles Dickens, who sought to discredit his account and protect their legacy.

In a powerful modern twist, the film features a meeting between the great-great grandson of Dickens and Inuit statesman Tagak Curley, highlighting the ongoing impact of historical narratives on present-day perceptions. This documentary-drama hybrid is a thought-provoking exploration of history's complexities and the stories that shape our understanding of the past.
