Die Stafette
In den letzten Jänner-Tagen des Jahres 1925 hielt die Welt den Atem an. Sie verfolgte voll Mitgefühl das Wettrennen von fünf Männern mit dem Tod. Der Tod drohte Hunderten von Kindern in der Stadt Nome im Norden Alaskas. Sie waren an Diphtherie erkrankt. Diese fünf Männer sollen mit Hundeschlitten in einem Stafettenlauf ein kleines Päckchen mit heilkräftigem Serum durch die unwirtliche Winterlandschaft Alaskas in das von der Außenwelt abgeschnittene Nome bringen. Wird die Stafette ihr Ziel erreichen? Auch heute noch findet in Alaska jedes Jahr ein Stafettenlauf zur Erinnerung an dieses Ereignis statt.
