Secrets of the Penguins

On the 20th anniversary of National Geographic's Academy Award®-winning "March of the Penguins," SECRETS OF THE PENGUINS changes everything we ever believed to be true.

For over two years, BAFTA and Emmy® Award-winning wildlife cinematographer Bertie Gregory has collaborated with world-leading scientists, using cutting-edge camera technology and unique access to capture three world-first episodes that resonate with our lives like never before.
