Eight Below

Just left the theater, we saw Eight Below. Netflix describes the movie, which is inspired by a true story, as an action-adventure about loyalty and the bonds of friendship set in the extreme wilderness of Antarctica. The film tells the story of three members of a scientific expedition: Jerry Shepard, his best friend, Cooper, and a rugged American geologist, who are forced to leave behind their team of beloved sled dogs due to a sudden accident and perilous weather conditions in Antarctica. During the harsh, Antarctic winter, the dogs must struggle for survival alone in the intense frozen wilderness for over 6 months. Glad we saw it on the big screen. The film was emotional, leaving me with a lump in my throat. If you are a dog owner, I guarantee you will go home and hug your dogs. My two guys are pictured above. We now appreciate them more than ever.
