White Dawn

Gripping drama based on James Houston's bestseller relates the true story of a trio of whalers who were separated from their ship in the Canadian Arctic.

But when cultural conflicts arose, the stage was set for a dramatic confrontation. Warren Oates, Timothy Bottoms, Lou Gossett star. 109 min.
