Movie Review: "March of the Penguins"

This documentary film about the life cycle of penguins (yes... you read that correctly) shows us the incredible journey undertaken each year by Antarctic penguins as they walk (waddle?) over 70 miles and several weeks without food in order to reach safe breading grounds. Once there, the highly individualist penguins (to themselves, I suppose) then go through courting rituals to find a mate -- to whom they will be manogamous for the entire mating season.

We saw the courtship... as well as what clearly appeared as affection between the mates, as well as the trouble of dealing with a fragile egg in the absolute worst of environments (sometimes not successfully).

It's a beautiful story of love, of life, of birth, of survival. Narrated by Morgan Freeman.

This movie is HIGHLY recommended if you can find it. I saw it at an art house in Atlanta.
