Inspired by the incredible true story of DinDim the Penguin, My Penguin Friend tells the story of a little lost penguin who-after being rescued from an oil spill-transforms the life and soul of the heartbroken fisherman. The penguin and the fisherman become unlikely friends, so bonded that even the vast ocean cannot divide them.
The heartwarming story of friendship and adventure, My Penguin Friend arrives on Digital and On Demand platforms from Lionsgate on October 1.
The uplifting story features Jean Reno (Leon: The Professional), Academy Award Nominee Adriana Barraza (Babel), Alexia Moyano (“The Kingdom”) and Nicolás Francella (“Victoria Small”). Directed by David Schurmann and Produced by Steven P. Wegner, known for family films including The Garfield Movie and Dolphin Tale 2, My Penguin Friend is available for the suggested retail price of $14.99 for EST and on VOD for $5.99.
