"Inspired by a true story, "Eight Below" is an exciting action-adventure about loyalty and the bonds of friendship set in the extreme wilderness of Antarctica.

The film tells the story of three members of a scientific expedition: Jerry Shepard (Paul Walker), his best friend, Cooper (Jason Biggs), and a rugged American geologist (Bruce Greenwood), who are forced to leave behind their team of beloved sled dogs due to a sudden accident and perilous weather conditions in Antarctica.

During the harsh, Antarctic winter, the dogs must struggle for survival alone in the intense frozen wilderness for over 6 months."



How each of the huskies take up greater responsibility when the owner is not around for a long period. When the winter attacks. When there is no more food. When the temperature is getting colder and colder and colder...

Perseverance. Team work. Obedience. Endurance. Encouragement. Friendship. Sacrificial spirit. Every single extraordinary quality lies in those huskies. It's truly amazing.

Reckoning to what i have watched, I have learned much. I believe my care group members have also captured some examples. Comparing of what i am going through in life with those huskies', it's just incomparable.


The deep and solid bonds of friendship is tested during afflictions and trials. How the simple word 'Friendship' and 'Teamwork' actually play such significant roles during difficulties and endurance. I learned.


If God can use His creation, huskies to inspire us and even behave in such manners, setting the right example for us, what more to say we, human?


Many times we tend to complain and grumble a lot when we don't receive the things that we yearn for. And we fail to realize that we actually have the things we need. We give up easily in our struggles and trials. We never even tried to persevere a little bit more. We never thought of putting a little more effort and hang on. If only we do that, the end result will definitely be in satisfaction. But we failed. We fail to help and offer a little aid to our friends who are in need and lack of support. We are cocky in our action and behavior when we know other people are not as good as us. We show no respect to our leaders.


Thinking and reflecting upon each line, we seriously do have countless of weaknesses and mistakes to be dealt with. I learned.


Bucked up! Don't give up!


Do watch if you have a chance. Spread the news!
