The Best Environmental Doc Ever!
The only film to be invited by the United Nations to screen at COP15 in Copenhagen, The Antarctica Challenge is the best - and most influential - environmental documentary in years.
Made by "Canada's Al Gore", explorer and filmmaker Mark Terry, the stunning HD photography of Antarctica is worth the price of admission all by itself. That it presents some incredible new discoveries made by the world's foremost climate change scientists is a major bonus.
I saw this film at the Wild & Scenic Film Festival in Nevada City a few weeks ago and was surprised to hear penguins are committing suicide, grass is growing instead of ice and the ozone hole is shrinking!
I can see why the UN picked this film to screen to world leaders. This one's a keeper!

Do you know what Antarctica's newest sport is??
XXXXX
These are some of the things that are happening in Antarctica today:
(1) its glaciers are melting
(2) the penguins here are committing suicide
(3) the seals here are going blind from ultra-violet rays
(4) the starfish located here are unable to reproduce
(5) one can actually see green vegetation that is thriving
(6) the waters in and around Antarctica are warming
The above are some of the facts you'll learn from this award-winning documentary. It reports new discoveries made by the world's scientific community stationed in Antarctica during International Polar Year (March 2007 to March 2009).
The cinematography is exquisite and the entire documentary is beautifully filmed. There is tremendous graphics and time-lapse photography.
Throughout the film are comments from knowledgeable persons such as a geophysicist, seismologist, penguin scientist, marine biologist, glaciologist, and ozone...
Fantastic Cinematography!
The narration and scientific research take you on a learning journey!
The pictures and cinematography are skillfully woven together to show you the results of climate change in the Antarctic.
The research of over 40,000 years of changes told in the story of ice core samples.
I recommend that you add this film to your collectrion and get your friends to do the same. The message this film delivers is too important to be ignored.
