Written by

The documentary “The Penguin Counters” is being shown at the Santa Barbara international film festival. The film tells the story of adventurers who go to Antarctica to count penguins.

“Chief penguin counter” Ron Naveen stopped by our KCRW Santa Barbara studios to talk with our morning edition host Lisa Osborn. Lisa told him he should receive the award for traveling the furthest to get to the film festival.

The Penguin Counters premiered at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival February 1 & 2, 2015.

Penguin counter Ron Naveen and his team brave some of nature's harshest elements while counting penguins in Antarctica. Their story is told in "The Penguin Counters," a documentary that premiered at the 30th Santa Barbara International Film festival.
