Passage is a 2008 film directed by John Walker that explores the history of a lost maritime expedition. The documentary, which is partly based on the book Fatal Passage, utilizes a blend of dramatic action and behind-the-scenes documentary footage to recount the story of British explorer Sir John Franklin. Franklin and his crew of 128 men perished in the Arctic ice while attempting to discover the Northwest Passage. The film examines the efforts of Scottish doctor John Rae, who in 1851 discovered the fate of the doomed mission. Rae reported that the crew suffered from madness and cannibalism, findings that were met with significant controversy. His report was challenged by Sir John Franklin’s widow, Lady Franklin, and other members of British society, including Charles Dickens. These figures initiated a public campaign to defend the reputation of the late explorer. The film, which is categorized as history, documentary, and drama, has a runtime of one hour and thirty minutes and was released in Canada on October 3, 2008.
