In the Falkland Islands, penguins endure shifting conditions and mounting threats, relying on the community to survive. Together, these films reveal the beauty, complexity, and resilience of life on the wing.
A filmmaker, facing up to the twilight of his career - sets out to use his camera skills to decipher the relationship between a million seabirds and a single hunting falcon.
