The Prize of the Pole

A biographical drama explores the cultural identity of three men, including Robert E. Peary, an American explorer who spent years living among the polar Eskimos, as they navigate conflicting demands from their dual cultural backgrounds.

Three men navigate their complex cultural identities, torn between their ancestral ties. The story revolves around Robert E. Peary, an American who spent decades among the polar Eskimos, and Minik, the sole survivor of a group of Eskimos brought to New York by Peary in 1897. The film's modern scenes follow Robert E. Peary II, a great-grandchild of the explorer, as he embarks on a journey to uncover his family's past, traveling from Greenland to America and forever altering his perspective on himself and his heritage.
