Dove Review

Sasha watched her grandfather, Oloukine, sail away to explore the North Pole. Years later, no one has found the ship or her grandfather. When she goes to her grandfather’s room, she discovers that everyone has been looking in the wrong direction. Sasha tries to convince the prince to talk to the tsar and extend the search, but to no avail.

So Sasha decides to leave home with her grandfather’s maps to search for him and his ship. She winds up on an adventure that she could have never imagined but never loses sight of finding the answer to what happened to Oloukine.

In “Long Way North,” Sasha goes on an adventure that requires determination and courage. We award this film with the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for ages 12-plus, due to some language.
