ANGELIKA’S NOTE

A stunning exploration into the life of the "world's greatest living explorer": Sir Ranulph Fiennes. Director Matthew Dyas (OCEANS, EARTH: A NEW WILD) utilizes archive footage to paint an entertaining and deeply stunning portrait of Fiennes and the worlds he has come to discover. "The stoicism is ever present, but the film movingly contextualises the legend of Fiennes as a man yearning for something beyond self and circumstance" (Times, UK).

SYNOPSIS

This is Sir Ranulph Fiennes, the world’s greatest living explorer. He is the only man ever to have circumnavigated the surface of the globe from pole to pole. He has broken countless world records and discovered a lost city in Arabia. At 60, he ran seven marathons on seven consecutive days, on seven continents…after a double heart bypass. EXPLORER tells the definitive story of an extraordinary life of adventure but the film goes beyond simple retrospective, delving deeper into the audacious and eccentric dreams of one man to explore the complete motivation behind them. Combining past and present through stunning archives and here-and now observational documentary, the film offers a thrilling, revealing and tender portrait of Sir Ranulph Fiennes, or ‘Ran’ as he prefers to be known.
