Seppala’s Daughter Was Absent In The Film
A major difference, to start with, is the fact that the movie never mentioned Seppala’s daughter, who was also at major risk due to the epidemic. Seppala, played by actor Willem Dafoe in the movie, was depicted as a stoic, no-nonsense man initially unmoved by the situation of the community.
According to The Cruelest Miles, a book written in memory of the 1925 serum run, Seppala wasn’t so impassive in real life. More importantly, he had an eight-year-old daughter, Sigrid, who was involved. He also wasn’t reluctant to make the trip, as it was reported that he left the village to a crowd of cheering people.
