The news shook the English-speaking world. Celebrated British explorer Sir John Franklin and his crew perished in the Arctic during an ill-fated attempt to discover the Northwest Passage. More shocking, they had descended into madness and cannibalism. 

The report came from John Rae, a Scottish doctor working for the Hudson's Bay Company. But Rae’s horrific news did not sit well with Franklin’s widow, Lady Franklin, or with Charles Dickens. They waged a bitter campaign that would discredit Rae and mark the Inuit people with the horrifying label of murderous cannibals. 

Passage is a story of incredible sacrifice, stunning distortion of the truth and single-minded obsession. It challenges the way we look at history.
