A reunion with Antarctica: Twelve years after director Luc Jacquet won the Oscar® with his documentary "The Penguins' Journey," he returns to the home of the emperor penguins. "The Journey of the Penguins" remains one of the world's most successful nature documentaries, with over 25 million viewers. In Germany, too, the film achieves unprecedented success for a documentary, with 1.4 million viewers. Jacquet's fascination with the unique inhabitants of Antarctica has never left him, and so he once again organized an expedition to the eternal ice, which set out in the fall of 2015 to film life in this unique ecosystem, which is directly threatened by climate change like almost no other, for months under the most extreme conditions. Jacquet and his team shot mostly in 4K Ultra HD resolution and also used drones and submersibles equipped with cameras. The result was sensational, unprecedented images.
