ABOUT THE FILM 
 
Werner Herzog (³Grizzly Man,² ³Rescue Dawn²) confirms his standing as poet
laureate of men in extreme situations with ENCOUNTERS AT THE END OF THE
WORLD.  In this visually stunning exploration, Herzog travels to the
Antarctic community of McMurdo Station, headquarters of the National Science
Foundation and home to eleven hundred people during the austral summer
(Oct-Feb).  Over the course of his journey, Herzog examines human nature and
Mother nature, juxtaposing breathtaking locations with the profound,
surreal, and sometimes absurd experiences of the marine biologists,
physicists, plumbers, and truck drivers who choose to form a society as far
away from society as one can get.
