"Bishop Isaac Stringer (1866-1934) left extensive documentation of his life and times in daily journals, letters, films and photographs. Historian Frank Peake wrote a biography of Stringer in 1966 entitled, 'The Bishop Who Ate His Boots'. Now 40 years later, Isaac Stringer's grandson, Richard Stringer (1944-2007), has left behind a documentary celebrating his grandfather's legacy as a pioneer missionary." "The film tells the story of Isaac and Sadie [Stringer], seamlessly interweaving the narrative with interviews with historians and personal contacts, shots of Richard Stringer doing research, and use of original photographs and footage from Isaac Stringer himself".
Filmmaker Richard Stringer is making a documentary about his grandfather, Bishop Isaac Stringer who served in the Arctic in the early years of the 20th century.
