This documentary, winner of seven international film awards, reports on the new discoveries made by the world’s scientific community stationed in Antarctica during International Polar Year. The film focuses on new discoveries made related to the ozone hole, the diminishing populations of penguins and other marine life, the greening of the world’s largest desert, warming temperatures, glacial melting and increased world sea level.

The film made headlines last year when it was the only one officially invited by the United Nations to screen to delegates and world leaders attending COP15, the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen last December.

The partnership between the United Nations Environment Programme and Polar Cap Productions, Inc., the film’s production company, was unique. It was the only film invited to screen to world leaders and delegates attending COP15. The United Nations applauded the film’s message in this official statement:

"Of all the canaries in the climate coal mine, the polar regions and the mountain glaciers are singing the hardest and the loudest," said Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme. "Mark Terry's new climate change documentary The Antarctica Challenge: A Global Warning underlines these realities with some of the latest and increasingly sobering scientific findings.”
