Product Overview
Narrated by Morgan Freeman, March of the Penguins is a documentary film for all ages. It tells the story of the remarkable annual winter journey taken by emperor penguins driven by the overwhelming urge to reproduce and ensure the survival of the species. Emperor penguins pair off as monogamous couples to mate, the females lay a single egg and then exhausted by weeks without nourishment, they begin their arduous and hazardous return journey. The male remains, eating nothing until the eggs begin to hatch, saving their meager reserves for the chicks until the return of their mothers. March of the Penguins tells one of the most beautiful love stories on Earth.
