The Great Alone

The documentary takes up the sled dog racer Lance Mackey. Mackey is a man who has won the Iditarod, the race held in Alaska. The film tells the story of his comeback. The account takes in both the race itself and Mackey’s family, and Dick Mackey appears in the film too. The camera follows the daily work with the dogs and the long distance. The conditions of Alaska hold a place of their own in the account. The work was made independently. The eighty minutes are given to that return. The account stands in an inspirational place, and that view is the film’s own. Greg Kohs’s American documentary was completed in 2015.
