This breathtakingly beautiful documentary chronicles the heroic and harrowing journey that emperor penguins make amid subfreezing temperatures and violent snowstorms at the South Pole in order to mate. It's a scientific enigma that these flightless aquatic birds leave, at summer's end, the watery element that is most favorable for their survival to travel hundreds of miles to engage in their annual mating ritual on treacherous Antarctic ice floes. With a determination that rivals that of the animals he documents so impressively, biologist and filmmaker Luc Jacquet spent more than a year documenting the emperor penguins' epic struggle not just to reproduce, but also to survive the March Of The Penguins.

Reviews

Epoch Times

Michael Clark

Because of the cute factor, superb narrative choices, and stupendous photography, family audiences quickly forget they’re watching “artsy documentaries.”

March of the Penguins is a magnificently-shot documentary, which is full of wonder, showcasing some of the most remarkable animals on Earth that have a truly unique relationship with their environment.

With sparse narration by Morgan Freeman, written by Jordan Roberts, and beauteous orchestrations led by conductor Jeff Schindler, Jacquet lets the magic of the penguins speak for itself.
