Sarah Donley's Response to Chasing Ice

Originally, I didn’t think I was going to really enjoy the documentary simply because I don’t find many that interest me. But I was amazed at the images I saw both with the still photos and video footage. It was very easy to see how passionate Balog was about the work he was doing and I have to admit I felt sad when the first set of cameras had technical difficulties since I can relate to how frustrating that can be.

I also liked to see a little bit of how his family felt about the work he was doing. Even his daughter understood just how much he cared about his work and she even said “I’ve never seen him so passionate about a project before”. Speaking as the daughter of a videographer and a photography enthusiast, I can relate to her.

 Overall, I enjoyed what we were able to see. Though I would like to know where the money for the project overall came from. As well as how he was able to get his hands on the data projections and get interviews with the professionals he featured.
