March of the Penguins (2005)

I don’t have the Nat Geo channel or the Discovery channel, so this kind of natural history documentary is something magical to me. It follows the Emperor penguins of Antarctica as they make their annual journey to their breeding ground, approx 70 miles from where they start out. And that’s only the beginning of the hardships. There are moments where I laughed with joy, and as many moments where I cried in sympathy. It’s narrated by Morgan Freeman who did a commendable job. The next time you think your life is tough, watch this, you pussy.
