Chasing Ice USA︱2011︱75 min︱Jeff ORLOWSKI Audience Award, Hot Docs International Documentary Festival Excellence Cinematography Award, Sundance Film Festival Photographer James BALOG’s documentation of the glaciers was the most-read story in National Geographic Magazine in the last five years. But for BALOG, the assignment also inspired him to engage in a much larger and longer-term project to study the melting arctic. Chasing Ice tells the story of a visionary artist who adventure to capture the most visible sign of climate change, against all odds. National Geographic photographer James BALOG was once a skeptic about climate change. But through his Extreme Ice Survey, he discovers undeniable evidence of our changing planet. In Chasing Ice , we follow BALOG across the Arctic as he deploys revolutionary time-lapse cameras designed for one purpose: to capture a multi-year record of the world's changing glaciers. His hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate. Traveling with a young team of adventurers by helicopter, canoe and dog sled across three continents, BALOG risks his career and his well-being in pursuit of the biggest story in human history. As the debate polarizes America and the intensity of natural disasters ramp up around the world, Chasing Ice depicts a heroic photojournalist on a mission to gather evidence and deliver hope to our carbon-powered planet.
