February Films of Earth Love in Four Elements: WATER: "The March of the Penguins"

In this four-part series that will circulate the library's three branches on Tuesday afternoons in February, each film will focus on a different one of the four elements of nature. A brief discussion will follow each film. The documentary The March of the Penguins will be the feature for the theme of water. (80 minutes) (2005)

In the Antarctic, every March since the beginning of time, the quest begins to find the perfect mate and start a family. 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.
