An Oscar-nominated filmmaker who directed and produced a documentary detailing a 1925 sled dog run in Alaska to deliver life-saving serum has died.
Daniel Anker died Monday at age 50. His wife, Donna Santman, says her husband died of pneumonia, a complication of his lymphoma.
Anker´s film, “Icebound,” details the five-day run to Nome following a deadly diphtheria breakout. The film opened the Anchorage International Film Festival in December.
