The ‘Endurance’ Filmmakers on Bringing Ernest Shackleton Back From the Dead With AI

Filmmakers Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin hosted a friends and family screening of their National Geographic film Endurance in October in Manhattan.
Chin and Vasarhelyi have chronicled vertiginous, record-setting ascents in Meru and the Academy Award–winning documentary Free Solo; the daring mission to save the junior soccer team stranded in Thailand’s Tham Luang Nang Non cave system in The Rescue; and Diana Nyad’s real-life 110 mile swim from Cuba to Florida in last year’s Oscar-nominated scripted feature Nyad.
