"City Slickers" is dedicated to the campaign to save the African Penguin. Over the past fifty years bird numbers have dropped by an alarming 90%! The film is closely associated with Sanccob (The South African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds) the charity that is urgently trying to put the African Penguin "back on its feet".
The hilarious yet heart-rending story of an extraordinary group of birds.
A Pelican Pictures & Off The Fence production for Animal Planet/Discovery (USA), NHK (Japan), ZDF (Germany) in association with Channel 5 (UK), RTBF (Belgium) and France 3 & 5.
15 years ago, a handful of African Penguins, normally found only on remote islands off the Southern African coast , stumbled across one of the Cape´s most beautiful and popular tourist beaches. They swam, they saw, they conquered. And today, Boulders beach is home to more than 4,000 of these delightful, resourceful and entertaining seabirds who live side by side with their human neighbours - well, most of the time! These knee-high invaders not only share the beach, they dodge traffic, scale fences, and take over gardens, the golf course and even the occasional bedroom! For our two feathered stars, Henry and Margot, it´s a tale of romance and the challenges of parenthood, separation and a penguin´s worst nightmare, oil.
Over two years in the making, using remote-controlled and infra-red sensitive cameras, award - winning wildlife film-maker Trevor de Kock´s CITY SLICKERS lifts the lid on the astonishing life of the urban penguin.
