New prize for THE PRIZE OF THE POLE! Staffan Julén's film, THE PRIZE OF THE POLE, received the Best Expedition Film Award at the 2008 Explorers Club Film Festival. The film will be screened on Saturday June 14th at 1:30pm at the Explorers Club in New York City. This documentary combines biography and history as it accompanies the Inuit hunter Hivshu, a.k.a. Robert E. Peary II, on a quest to trace the story of his great grandfather and his other ancestors, including the Eskimo family the famous Arctic explorer brought back with him to New York as part of an exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History in 1897.
