‘THE EMPEROR PENGUIN IS THE ULTIMATE STORY OF LIFE AND DEATH, STRUGGLE AND HARDSHIP,
IN THE HARSHEST PLACE ON EARTH’
Academy Award-winning Director Luc Jacquet
To Our Friends in the Media,
Hallmark Channel is proud to present to you the World Television Premiere of the never-before-seen film short subject from Academy Award®-winning filmmakers Luc Jacquet and Yves Darondeau of “March of the Penguins.”
The seven-minute short film is based on the filmmakers’ three year saga to capture the unique survival habits of Antarctica’s Emperor Penguins. Even in this film short presentation there is heart, emotion, sacrifice, life, death…and love!
Luc Jacquet and Emanuel Priou narrate the short film subject which will be seen immediately following the U.S. television premiere of the theatrical film, “March of the Penguins” only on Hallmark Channel, Saturday, November 25 (9/8 c). Morgan Freeman has filmed all new opens and wraparounds for American TV audiences and encores of all of the content follow immediately.
Beginning November 1, rich media content on “March of the Penguins” will be available at www.hallmarkchannelpress.com
Luc Jacquet sums up his three-year end-of-the-world adventure this way, “The emperor is the symbol for all life struggle everywhere. They are the most peaceful animal. They want to live in peace. They even seem to want that for us, the humans.”
Don’t miss it! The little movie that marched away with film’s biggest prize – the 2006 Academy Award® – is coming to your home! “March of the Penguins,” Saturday, November 25 (9/8 c). Never-before-seen film short follows.
Warm, personal regards,
