March of the Penguins
March of the Penguins (French: La Marche de l'empereur; French pronunciation: [la maʁʃ də lɑ̃ˈpʁœʁ]) is a 2005 French nature documentary film directed and written by Luc Jacquet. The documentary 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, which is 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 documentary, which was shot around French scientific base Dumont d'Urville in Adélie Land. March of the Penguins was released in France on 26 January 2005 by Buena Vista International France. The documentary won the 2006 Academy...
