Danny O’Malley, directed the film with MIT-trained Neuroscientist Alex Rivest, PhD. It’s set to open in limited release with a special nationwide screening on Sept. 20, 2023.

The subject of the film is Doctor Lonnie Thompson, who is referred to as an explorer “who went where no scientist had gone before and transformed our idea of what is possible.” He’s been globally recognized for his drilling an analysis of ice cores from various regions of the world in the hopes of better understanding the Earth’s climate.

“When we say Lonnie is like a real-life superhero, it’s not hyperbole,” the director said. “Unlike the glaciers at the poles, the tropical high mountain glaciers Lonnie studies provide water to billions of people, and when they are gone, there’s going to be catastrophic consequences that will affect everyone. Lonnie is doing his work and telling his story because it can save lives. So, it’s not just a great adventure story. It has the potential to make a difference.”
