Togo

Are you ready to be inspired? Because based-on-a-true-story Togo seems to promise just that. The upcoming drama directed by Ericson Core and starring Willem Dafoe is described as following "two key figures in the 1925 serum run to Nome, also known as the Great Race of Mercy, in which dog-sled teams relayed to transport diphtheria antitoxin serum through harsh conditions over nearly 700 miles to save the Alaskan town of Nome from an epidemic."

Dafoe will play Leonhard Seppala, the owner of sled dog Togo, who together traversed the most dangerous part of their journey (which included enduring temperatures of 30 degrees below zero in gale-force winds). The studio hasn't announced a release date as of May 2019, but we'll keep an eye out for you.
