A Must See For All Who Like Challenges (2008-01-19)

Five Good Reason for Watching This Film"Ice Road Truckers" (History Channel)1. The film maker has created this monumental documentary (5-6 hrs) around a competition that big-rig truckers have every winter to see who can make the most runs along the ice roads to the diamond mines in the Canadian Arctic.2. Even if you have no interest in trucking, you will be mesmerized by the harrowing ride these men and women go through each day for two months to win the honor of being the best driver. This race truly comes across as an extreme sport, with all kinds of dangers lurking around the next corner.3. The film provides a lot of technical knowledge as to the building of the road, the daily testing of the ice, and the maintenance of the rigs. You, the viewer, get to go along as many problems are being investigated and repaired. 4. The film does a credible job on developing character profiles for each of the main competitors in this group. The viewer gets to see and feel both strong senses of rivalry and camaraderie that forms between them.5. The film captures a lot of very impressive footage of the great Canadian outdoors in winter. Lots of scenes where the drivers have to drive through snowstorms, do repairs in -40 F, cross frozen lakes in their rigs as the ice cracks underneath them, and drive across frozen wastelands under the undulating canopy of the Northern Lights.
