Trailer

Penguins of the Point is a short wildlife documentary that explores the daily lives of penguins at Volunteer Point in the Falkland Islands, showcasing the resilience of these remarkable birds as they face both predators and modern threats such as climate change, commercial fishing, and avian influenza.

 

Watch gentoo and king penguins navigate the shoreline where predators await, witness the spectacle of king penguins undergoing their annual molt, follow magellanic penguins as they return to breed along the shore, and observe tender scenes of chicks huddling together in crèches for warmth and protection before being fed by parents returning from the sea. Along the way, the film sheds light on the growing threat of avian influenza and the wider impacts of climate change and overfishing on penguin populations and their fragile ecosystem.
