Emmy-winning documentary moviemaker Anne Aghion’s “Ice People” has been selected to open the 2009 Fargo Film Festival. To create the documentary, Aghion spent four months on the ice with modern-day polar explorers, to find out what drives dedicated researchers to leave the world behind in pursuit of science, and to capture the true experience of living and working in this extreme environment.

“Ice People” has direct ties to the Fargo-Moorhead community.  In the image above, North Dakota State University geology undergraduates Kelly Gorz (right) and Andrew Podoll (left) trek across rough terrain
