A compelling tale about the life of the emperor penguins, where the key element in their fight for survival against winter is love. Suspended in the visual and sonorous silence of the Antarctic Ocean, the film follows the annual adventure these seemingly clumsy animals undertake on an arduous trek from their usual habitat in the north (at the ocean face where food is abundant) to their breeding grounds in the south (where the ice shelf is bleak but stable). Males and females call one another and form permanent pairs united in a pact of love that is their only chance of ensuring the brood will survive at -40° C. Met with overwhelming success, this film is the result of the near-heroic efforts of Luc Jacquet and his team but also of nature itself, a wellspring of extraordinary stories.
French scientist Luc Jacquet earned a master’s degree in animal biology from the University of Lyons in 1991, the year he first visited the Antarctic. He became a wildlife photographer and cinematographer, hoping for the chance to return to the South Pole to make his own film on the emperor penguins. In 2000 he wrote out the screenplay that would one day become the long-awaited project, The Emperor’s Journey. Two years later he found a producer. The film became a surprise hit soon after release in 2005, becoming the most successful documentary to date.
