Synopsis

After overcoming personal tragedy, widowed father and champion musher Leonhard 'Sepp' Seppala steps in the midst of a diphtheria outbreak in his small dock town of Nome, Alaska to safely deliver the anti-toxin to the hospital. With his own child's life on the line, Sepp battles the impossible, accompanied by his trusty pack of sled dogs. When a severe winter storm has made it impossible journey for planes, trains, or any form of transportation, Sepp and his dogs are able to get the anti-toxin to the children in need, just in the nick of time.

This was an amazing movie. Brought us to tears, filled us with hope, and taught us more about some of our history’s heroes. Will definitely be purchasing this movie when it comes out on DVD.

The Great Alaskan Race is the vigorous, heartbreaking film about that true story that will leave you cheering.

Brian Presley wrote, directed, produced, and stars in The Great Alaskan Race, and his reverence for the dire situation and heroics of the mushers are evident throughout. However, passion alone does not make a good movie.
