Description:

In the spring of 1931 a group of courageous and hardy Newfoundland sealers boarded the SS Viking, a tall ship set for sail to the Ice Fields, arctic seal hunting grounds in the ice floes of the North Atlantic. Their journey was documented in motion picture by U.S. filmmaker Varick Frissell. Frissell and several Hollywood movie people accompanied the crew in order to capture additional footage for an epic film shot the previous spring in the Ice Fields, a fictitious love story about two men who vie for the love of one woman. WHITE THUNDER paints a a life portrait of Varick Frissell, and documents the passage of the Viking’s crew and the unfortunate events that led to an accidental onboard explosion and the deaths of twenty-seven men including 27-year old Frissell. <50mn 12s>
