"Secrets of the Penguins" focuses on the hidden lives of penguins in extreme Antarctic conditions, documented by National Geographic explorer Bertie Gregory. Using advanced drone technology, Gregory captured breathtaking moments, including a group of lost chicks facing a 50-foot cliff. Their successful leap into the ocean was a previously unseen behavior, symbolizing resilience amidst challenges. The film explores the emotional depth of penguins, highlighting their struggles and adaptability. Premiering on April 20, this documentary promises to provide insightful perspectives on the lives of these remarkable creatures, airing on various platforms like Disney+ and Hulu.
I was able to follow this one group of chicks that had taken a wrong turn, and they ended up, not at the edge of the seas ice, but instead at the edge of a 50-foot ice cliff. This had never been filmed before, so we had no idea whether these chicks could even survive such a fall, or whether they'd actually choose to make that jump. And they did, and it was like, 'Oh my word. What are they doing,' Gregory told On The Red Carpet.
Gregory describes the penguins' lives as an emotional rollercoaster, filled with challenges, resilience and untold secrets.
