Leonhard Seppala Played By Willem Dafoe In Togo (2019)
Togo (2019) tells the story of Leonhard Seppala and his sled dogs on their perilous journey to retrieve medication needed by their remote community.
Diphtheria broke out in the town of Nome, Alaska, and Seppala, with his lead dog Togo, set out to get the needed medication, as there was no other way to receive it. It should be noted that the retrieval was a huge team effort. More than 150 dogs and several mushers (drivers) took part in it, and many of the dogs unfortunately perished, mostly due to exposure to freezing temperatures. Seppala and Togo's sled actually traversed one of the most dangerous legs of the trip both forward and backwards, but unfortunately the 1925 Serum Run is often associated with Balto, another dog whose sled finished the last 55 miles to Nome and delivered the antitoxin.
If you have a chance, watch season 1 episode 1 “Shark Survivor”. It is one crazy survival story narrated by the survivors. You will not easily forget.
I shouldn't be Alive was a great show. There was even an episode about a sailor trying to make it across the Atlantic in a small boat that was overturned and he spent many days drifting at sea, surviving on solar still water and what he could catch until he was finally rescued around the Bahamas.
