March of the Penguins
Review by Ann Dyke
This amazingly beautiful and tender film is riveting and unforgettable. The photography is exquisite and so close-up that the viewer is right there with the penguins through courtship and child caring, as well as through their long and hazardous journey. This movie is a must-see for all ages.
Product Description
In the Antarctic, every March since the beginning of time, the quest begins to find the perfect mate and start a family. This courtship will begin with a long journey - a journey that will take them hundreds of miles across the continent by foot, in freezing cold temperatures, in brittle, icy winds and through deep, treacherous waters. They will risk starvation and attack by dangerous predators, under the harshest conditions on earth, all to find true love.
