FILM: Turtle Walker

  • Palace Ballina 84 Kerr Street Ballina, NSW, 2478 Australia (map)

In the late 1970s, Satish Bhaskar set out on an extraordinary journey along India’s coastlines and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, uncovering vital nesting beaches of endangered sea turtles. As he works to protect these ancient creatures, a devastating 2004 tsunami raises urgent questions about their survival when nesting grounds vanish. Visually stunning and deeply moving, this award-winning documentary blends breathtaking imagery with poetic storytelling to honour one man’s lifelong commitment to saving sea turtles from extinction.
