Long synopsis : Each year, thousands of emperor penguins abandon the safety of their deep blue ocean home and travel hundreds of miles across treacherous and forbidding Antarctic ice floes to breed, braving sub-zero temperatures and untold dangers. Rich in courage and humour, mystery and breath-taking spectacle, THE EMPEROR'S JOURNEY is the epic story of their heroic struggle for survival.
