Another captivating angle to this incredible story. All of the films about this historic true event are very good, including this version. I recently watched the movie Togo and thought that it was pretty good, which is what you would expect from a Disney film. This may not be Disney's Togo, but--it is actually just as good or...better? This film provides a warm and interesting reflection of the man who contributed 80% of the rescue effort, Leonard Shepard. His own daughter was one of the sick children, which was a very compelling motivation for Mr. Shepard to get the serum back to Nome expeditiously.

Pros: Absolutely gorgeous score. Excellent acting by Treat Williams.

Cons: EVERYTHING ELSE

Leonhard Seppala met and married Constance YEARS before this movie took place, and Sigrid was their daughter. Seppala never had an Inuit wife. There were LITERALLY PHOTOS AND VIDEOS at the end of the movie that show what Sepp and Togo actually looked like, but the characters in the film are not even close. Poor filming, terrible acting by Presley (among others),huge historical inaccuracies. Do yourselves a favor and just watch Disney's Togo. Infinitely better all around and IMO much more historically accurate.

Watched TOGO last week...great movie...What movie started in production first ? Terrible acting....nice cinematography....but couldn't get into it at all. Maybe a good Hallmark movie when nothing else is on.
