The documentary 'March of the Penguins' traces the steps of emperor penguins during the course of a year, as they undergo repeated, harrowing marches back and forth across the Antarctic icescape. In the midst of these journeys, if successful, the penguins will pair off, mate, and raise their young, all in the darkest, coldest place on earth.

'March of the Penguins' is a stunning portrait of the emperor penguin. The dedication and determination of the film crew infiltrates the film. 'March of the Penguins' is a stunning, moving documentary that captures the beauty, fragility, and complexity of life and love, at the end of the Earth.

I recommend this DVD to those interested in penguins, birds, and natural history as well as general audiences who simply enjoy beautiful filmmaking and poignant portraits of the natural world.
