How does the film portray exploration?

In discussing the film "The Lost City of Z," Ben Shapiro elaborates on its portrayal of exploration. He highlights that the marketing may not have effectively communicated that it is a period piece about exploration in the Amazon. Specifically, the film centers on an explorer named Fawcett, who believes in the existence of a lost city in the Amazon, leading him to embark on a quest that takes him away from his family. Despite some criticisms of the performances, Shapiro appreciates the film's biographical approach to the explorer's journey 1.
