Humboldt

Directed by

Stranded on an island north of Chile, a penguin heads for the Antarctic, challenging the Humboldt Current, a cold ocean current of the South Pacific that flows north along the coast of Chile and Peru, with a considerable cooling and drying effect on the coastal climate. This will be the beginning of an odyssey of no return that will change the intrepid animal’s life, forcing it to face all sorts of danger. The narration was provided by ornithologist and biologist, Guillermo Egli.
