In: Technology
There’s a really great movie from a few years back about a thwarted political coup. The film takes place in a mountainous northern climate where ice and snow are intricately related to daily life. The intro has a great depiction of how ice was harvested, packed, and transported for sale. You should have no trouble finding it–it’s still Frozen in pop culture. Even 11 years later we just can’t Let It Go.
