The visuals were beautiful, and they did a good job with what they put together, but they didn't include any videos of the crossings, which I'm guessing means they didn't bother to bring GoPros at all. Also there was some footage from above of what looked to be some seals that they encountered up close, once again no Upload videos, just the drone or airplane footage from high above. We watched this on iTunes, so we bought it for five dollars thinking we would probably rewatch it in the future, but it's just so short that it's almost meaningless to rewatch. I feel like this needs to be amended to add whatever additional footage they have. It was cool to hear a Tamuz Dekel song in it.

I honestly wish that this documentary was 30 to 60 minutes longer or even more... it felt to short.
The visuals of the Glacial Rivers and the Icelandic landscape and coastal areas is so otherworldly and awe inspiring - it left me wanting to see more.
I also wanted to see more of their journey and what they went through and what they saw.
It feels like half the film is taken up by Chris introducing everyone and then explaining the idea of their trip and why they are doing it.
So you feel like you should have gotten more of the trip.
Even though I felt like it was too short - this is a really interesting documentary.

The Forgotten Coast is a breathtaking documentary that showcases the stunning landscapes and raw beauty of Iceland. The visuals are absolutely mesmerizing, capturing the untouched wilderness in a way that makes you feel as if you are right there with the adventurers. The journey itself is inspiring, and I appreciate the effort it took to document such a challenging and remote expedition. However, I would have loved to see more of the most difficult parts of the journey-those moments that tested endurance and resilience the most.
The team's experience and skill were evident throughout, making it all the more impressive that they could navigate and survive such rugged terrain. I truly appreciate the effort that went into filming and sharing this adventure with the world. It's not every day that we get a glimpse into such hidden and forgotten parts of Iceland, a country that holds so much mystery and beauty unlike anywhere else on Earth.
As someone who enjoys biking and kayaking in Canada, particularly around Mississauga, Ontario, I can relate to the love of outdoor adventure, but what you accomplished is on an entirely different level. Your expertise and dedication are truly admirable, and I can only imagine the amount of preparation and perseverance it required. This documentary has left me eager to see more-perhaps other journeys in similarly remote and breathtaking locations. Thank you for bringing this experience to life and allowing us to witness the incredible landscapes and challenges along the way.
