A Groundhog Day Story (2017)
On Thursday, in the dead of winter, one groundhog will bravely emerge from his burrow to make the year's most-anticipated weather forecast: Legend has it, if he sees his shadow on Feb 2., Groundhog Day, there will be six more weeks of winter. If he doesn't, that's supposed to mean an early spring is on the way. That rodent is "Punxsutawney Phil," and he's the star of Animal Planet's new documentary A Groundhog Day Story (airing Feb. 2). As the exclusive clip above shows, the rodent gave his small Pennsylvania town international name recognition - but Phil depends in turn on a group of top-hat-wearing volunteers who take care of him throughout the year. One of those volunteers is Bill Deeley, a retired funeral director and President of The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club, who is gearing up for his 32nd Groundhog Day ceremony at Gobbler's Knob, the wooded area where Phil makes his legendary prediction. As Deeley puts it in the film, "Phil is everything to Punxsutawney."A Groundhog Day Story is not currently available to stream, rent, or buy but you can add it to your want to see list for updates.
