CONTENTS
Featuring breathtaking underwater shots, this dramatised documentary about an astounding ocean odyssey of a turtle has all the ingredients of a great epic; suspense, adventure and fervent hope.
Born on a beach in Florida, Caretta turtle rides her life current, the Gulf Stream, up towards the Arctic and ultimately swims around the entire North Atlantic before returning to the beach where she was born. But the odds are stacked against her making it; just one in ten thousand turtles survive the 25-year journey. Based on the true story of our loggerhead’s remarkable voyage, her epic journey is one of immense beauty – from swimming with great pods of humpback whales riding the Gulf Stream north to witnessing the greatest celebration of life in the Azores; but it is also a story of change as powerful forces are altering her ocean world. When she finally returns to the shores of Florida to give birth to a new generation, 25 years have passed. But will her beach still be there?
“I’ve always wanted to tell a story of the sea, it’s the cradle of all life, the great abyss in which all life on Earth began. It has a deep spiritual resonance, a mood and character that are all-powerful, it humbles you and one senses that, ultimately, it controls everything and keeps the planet alive. But it is truly a hidden and inhospitable world, our own inner space, and through it runs the great secret pathways of ancient nomads and travellers.” (Nick Stringer)
A little loggerhead turtle follows in the path of her ancestors on one of the most extraordinary journeys in the natural world. Born on a beach in Florida, she rides the Gulf Stream all the way to the frozen north and ultimately swims around the entire North Atlantic to Africa and back to the beach where she was born.
