Many Iranians are outraged at the West‘s criticism of the country‘s nuclear program.

Every winter an incredible love story plays out in the coldest, darkest, windiest continent on the earth. The Emperor Penguins emerge from the sea and walk, in a single file, to their breeding ground, which is 70 miles away and mate. The female delivers one large egg, which the male then gathers into the folds of his abdomen and holds. He stands for two months without food and water in howling gales and temperatures which dip to 50 below zero while the female trudges back to the sea. She then returns and incredibly enough, finds her mate and the chick that she has never seen before. The Oscar-winning Penguins - A Love Story documents this ritual. The Indian release is narrated by Amitabh Bachchan - at one point in the English version, he actually says, ‘How this happens, I don‘t know. I‘m just Amitabh Bachchan, not a Penguin.‘

A stirring, eye-opening, and educational experience, the film gives an incredible true account of the quest to bring new life into the world. Amitabh Bachchan‘s dignified voice gives the penguins the grave admiration they deserve. But even more incredible is the photography, which shows the penguins hunting underwater, sliding on the ice, and even what definitely looks like kissing. At one point the camera even zooms inside the mouth of a penguin as it regurgitates food for its young.

So make sure you tune-in to the exclusive premiere of "Penguins- A Love Story" this Friday, June 15th at 9 p.m. on Star Movies.
