Set amongst the constant seeping inertia of the ice, Isaac Julien’s True North uses the landscape as a key location and theme, and is loosely inspired by the story of the black American explorer, Matthew Henson (1866-1955) who accompanied Robert Peary and was one of the first people to reach the North Pole.
