March of the Penguins

"For millions of years, they have made their home on the darkest, driest, windest, and coldest continent on earth. And they have done so pretty much alone. So in some ways this is a story of survival, a tale of life or death. But it's more than that, really, this is a story about love."   Tip: Clikc on the Full Screen button to watch the video in full screen mode March of the Penguins From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia March of the Penguins (French: La Marche de l'Empereur) was a 2005 French nature documentary film. It was directed and co-written by Luc Jacquet, and co-produced by Bonne Pioche and the National Geographic Society. The film depicts the yearly journey of the emperor penguins of Antarctica. In autumn, all the penguins of breeding age (five years old and over) leave the ocean, their normal habitat, to walk inland to their ancestral breeding grounds. There, the penguins participate in a courtship that, if successful, results in the hatching of a chick. For the chick to survive, both parents must make multiple arduous journeys between the ocean and the breeding grounds over the ensuing months. It took one year for the two isolated cinematographers Laurent Chalet and Jérôme Maison to shoot the film, which was shot around the French scientific base of Dumont d'Urville in Adélie Land. The film won the 2005 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.[2]>
