Togo

“The untold true story.”

Why would anyone hitch a runt to a sled team in the winter of 1925? Leonhard Seppala (Willem Dafoe), a musher in Nome, Alaska, did just that, and the dog, Togo, became his lead. When diphtheria breaks out and the antitoxin has to cross the tundra, Ericson Core sends man and dog into the cold, with children's lives waiting at the other end.
