March of the Penguins (French: La Marche de l'empereur; French pronunciation: [la maʁʃ də lɑ̃ˈpʁœʁ]) is a 2005 French nature documentary film directed and written by Luc Jacquet. The documentary depicts the yearly journey of the emperor penguins of Antarctica. In autumn, all the penguins of breeding age (five years old and over) leave the ocean, which is their normal habitat, to walk inland to their ancestral breeding grounds. There, the penguins participate in a courtship that, if successful, results in the hatching of a chick. For the chick to survive, both parents must make multiple arduous journeys between the ocean and the breeding grounds over the ensuing months. It took one year for the two isolated cinematographers Laurent Chalet and Jérôme Maison to shoot the documentary, which was shot around French scientific base Dumont d'Urville in Adélie Land.

How to watch it together from different places
Each of you opens March of the Penguins on your own account. Herae keeps the two players in sync, so a pause or a skip happens for both of you, and puts a video call in the corner of the film so you can see each other react.
