The Worst Journey in the World -- I want to see it!

October 3, 2011 10:03 AM

I want to watch the film "90 Degrees South" (also called "The Great White Silence"), but I don't want to buy it. My local library doesn't have it. What are my options?

(WorldCAT says that there are university libraries nearby with copies, but I am not affiliated with any university).

backwords, does your library use the interlibrary loan system? Worth a call to find out.

Does your library have inter-library loan?

Response by poster: My library does have ILL, but there's a notice on the website that it's only for articles, so no DVDs.

1. Interlibrary loans are sometimes possible for movies.

2. Phone the university libraries and ask the librarian if you could view the film in the library or a campus media center without checking it out. Since you have more than one University nearby, this will almost certainly work.

3. Or just watch it on YouTube.
