Disko

Eccentric French skipper Olivier Huin builds his own wooden boat and takes it into some of the most treacherous waters in the world. Skipper Olivier invites 8 crewmates to join him as he attempts to sail North from Virginia (USA) deep into the Arctic circle in search of the legendary Disko Bay.

My take

A masterclass in audacious ambition. Watch an eccentric French skipper and his ragtag crew attempt an impossible Arctic voyage in a handbuilt wooden boat—a thrilling blend of obsession, human grit, and nature's unforgiving beauty that grips you from the first frame.
