This courtship will begin with a long journey - a journey that will take them hundreds of miles across the continent by foot, one by one in a single file. They will endure freezing 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.

Add a CommentThe comments on the sleeve say it all, this is a MUST SEE documentary, especially if you have children. So sweet and so special. I said suitable for all ages, but adults should pay attention while the children are entrhralled. We humans should be as "human" as penguins! (and other wildlife as well, I might add.)
Amazing footage and an even more amazing commitment on the part of the filmakers to work and live in Antarctica the better part of a year to accomplish it. And, sure, it doesn't hurt to have Morgan Freeman as a narrator, either.
Surprisingly engaging for a documentary on penguins. Worth watching. You may need a blanket. Those arctic scenes felt cold.
this documentary shows how weak the human race is
Kind of boring documentary. Too much subtle anthropomorphism in this movie.
Really great documentary. The French team that shot this story had to endure some pretty difficult conditions to put all the elements together..resulted in some pretty gripping shots.
America's best documentry ever
an amazingly- shot documentary. a never- before- scene insight into the land of the far, far south. cute, interesting and on- topic
Wonderful to see such a beautiful animal in its own habitat.
An excellent documentary about the utterly complex lives of penguins. Morgan Freeman is a good narrator.
