John Walker’s documentary drama “Passage” will screen at the Hot Docs Festival in Toronto on April 20 and 23. Based on the lives of Dr. John Rae, explorer for the Hudson’s Bay Company, and Sir John Franklin, British Royal Navy officer and leader of an ill-fated 1840s Arctic expedition, the film follows a trail from London to the Orkney Islands to Nunavut, elegantly slipping between past and present, drama and documentary, observational and self-reflexive cinema, to present the forces that made Franklin a hero and banished Rae to the margins of history.

Nigel plays the part of Sir James Graham.
