Highest Rated: 100% March of the Penguins 2: The Next Step (2017)

Lowest Rated: 50% The Fox and the Child (2007)

Birthday: Dec 5, 1967

Birthplace: Bourg-en-Bresse, Ain, France

Though he spent most of his professional career as a biologist, documentary filmmaker Luc Jacquet fell easily into making movies. Jacquet had always wanted to be a scientist, but the idea of being cooped up in a laboratory lacked appeal. His seminal film, "March of the Penguins" (2005), a stark but entertaining look at the mating habits of emperor penguins in Antarctica, was embraced by diverse groups of people around the world. The film underscored a career spent traveling to remote parts of the world and enduring unbearable conditions in order to capture exquisite creatures doing remarkable things.
