The Film
“Against All Odds: Emperor Penguins of Snow Hill Island, Antarctica
Winner, Lone Star Regional Emmy© Award
A place of extremes, of vulnerability, of vastness, of unknowns. Yet teeming with life. Emperor Penguins are magical. The ecosystem that supports them is fragile. The journey to experience it all tested my determination and fortitude. I did it because it matters. So do the penguins; so does the Antarctic. I’ve had a lot of help and support throughout my life. Now perhaps it is they – the penguins, their land – that need help and support. Because it matters. And a Lone Star Emmy confirms it…“Against All Odds” tells the story of why.

“Against All Odds” is a magnificent visual story of one of the most amazing species on our planet, the emperor penguins. Rarely has anyone captured the magic of a breeding colony of these beautiful and tough animals in such an inspiring composition of images and narrative. The emperor penguin is truly the crown jewel of the White Continent and Dee Ann Pederson is their ideal ambassador. see more reviews...
