Ocean Festival Film Screening: Turtle Walker
Join us for this film screening on the opening night of the Sunshine Coast Ocean Festival.
The inspiring tale of Satish Bhaskar and the giant sea turtles he loves, a stunning example of a life dedicated to citizen science.
In the late 1970s, Satish Bhaskar embarked on an epic journey along India’s coastlines and the spectacular Andaman and Nicobar Islands, where he uncovered the vital nesting beaches of sea turtles. During his death-defying quest, he unravelled mysteries surrounding these enigmatic ocean creatures and set out to save them from extinction. After a devastating tsunami struck in 2004, Bhaskar grapples with a pressing question: What happens to sea turtles when their nesting beaches disappear?
NOTE: This is a Sneak Peek Screening. The film’s Canadian premiere is upcoming.
Doors open at 6:30pm.
2025/ 72min / Directed by Taira Malaney.
