AFTER ANTARCTICA is an intimate portrait of Will Steger, a trailblazer who is one of the world’s most admired polar explorers. Thanks to never-before-seen archival footage, we follow Steger’s historic 1989 traverse across Antarctica, which was the longest crossing of the continent in history. In the decades following his expedition, the three ice shelves the team crossed have disintegrated, leaving Steger and his team not only the first to achieve this feat, but also the last. The endless debate over the urgency of climate change continues, and Steger’s un-repeatable journey has fresh new relevance as he considers his past and our future.
