A sailor and his family’s harrowing and inspiring journey across the treacherous Northwest Passage. Take a look at today’s amazing, real-life adventure story, The Other Side of the The Ice by award-winning documentary filmmaker, Sprague Theobald. 
A Little About The Other Side of The Ice:
Sprague Theobald, an award-winning documentary filmmaker and expert sailor with over 40,000 offshore miles under his belt, always considered the Northwest Passage–the sea route connecting the Atlantic to the Pacific–the ultimate uncharted territory. Many more people have gone into space than have traversed the Passage, and a staggering number have died trying. An 8,500-mile trek filled with constant danger from ice, polar bears, and severe weather.
What Theobald couldn’t have known was just how life-changing his journey through the Passage would be. Reuniting his children and stepchildren after a bad divorce more than fifteen years earlier, the family embarks with unanswered questions, untold hurts, and unspoken mistrusts hanging over their heads. Unrelenting cold, hungry polar bears, and a haunting landscape littered with sobering artifacts from the tragic Franklin Expedition of 1845, as well as personality clashes that threaten to tear the crew apart, make The Other Side of the Ice a harrowing story of survival, adventure, and, ultimately, redemption.

“This is truly a unique, self-effacing, compelling memoir of transcendence through a life lived fully. I’ve ordered the movie!” –Robin
“This book is an incredible story of braving a crossing of the Northwest Passage in a 57 foot boat-with all of the challenges of equipment failure, bad weather, and being stalked by polar bears. In addition, the author describes the challenge of reconnecting with his estranged children (who were his crew) during the journey, all while under harrowing conditions. I really enjoyed reading it.” –Robert
“It is both a story of family and mystery tale that keeps you wondering what the heck will happen next. Highly recommended for any one with kids or just a desire to explore the impossible!” –Robert W.
