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 raw, ambitious documentary about human determination against nature's extremes. Watch someone chase an obsession into the Arctic with a ragtag crew and a handbuilt wooden boat—it's the kind of adventure that feels genuinely dangerous and alive.
