March of the Penguins

2005 FESTIVAL
80 min.
This summer’s National Geographic-supported hit documentary follows thousands of emperor penguins as they embark on their annual journey across the pitiless “desert”; of Antarctic ice. Images of the penguins’ annual struggle to bear and raise chicks stay with you. “My goal is to dig from the ice a story which has never seen the light of day, for want of a teller,”; says director Luc Jacquet.  “There has never been a generation of men to witness and shape it, to pass it down. They remain strangers.”
