    Entertaining, educational, inspirational ... A beautiful film!

    A beautiful film delivering a wealth of information about the effects of global warming while not indulging in the doomsday undertones that so many activists employ to bring attention to the issue. Throughout the documentary, one feels as inspired by its breathtaking cinematography as by its message that we can still make a difference; as the title implies, the film portrays global warming not as an inevitable end for humanity but instead as our species' next great challenge. The raw beauty of Antarctica is presented spectacularly – the viewer is at first humbled by the majesty of the continent's glaciers and then, as those massive bulks shift and creak, begins to feel as if a god were asking us for help. I highly recommend this film to anyone who has an interest in Antarctica and who wants the facts about global warming without the fear-mongering.

    Stunning Cinematography mixed with Jaw Dropping Reality

    The Antarctica Challenge: A Global Warning takes a sobering look at the Antarctic region, revealing the devastation to both life and land caused by global warming. Mary Terry combines breath-taking cinematography with factual scientific data, expert interviews, and historical records, to open our eyes to the realities of how our actions are negatively impacting our earth. It is no wonder the film has won eleven (or more!) international film festival awards and was featured at the United Nation's Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen. And today, The Antarctica Challenge - A Global Warning continues to be featured at universities and educational institutions across Canada and around the world. This film truly is a MUST SEE for everyone.

    NOTE: Be sure to hang around after the credits for a special surprise!
