Turtle: The Incredible Journey

 

TURTLE: THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY is the story of a little loggerhead turtle, as she 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 up towards the Arctic and ultimately swims around the entire North Atlantic across to Africa and back to the beach where she was born.

But the odds are stacked against her; just one in ten thousand turtles survive the journey. She faces many hazards, her siblings are lost in the doldrums of the
Sargasso Sea, she comes face to face with creatures of the deep and nearly dies at the hands of fishermen. She travels up north but she drifts from her life current, the Gulf Stream, into dangerously cold waters. When
she finally reaches the Azores on the other side of the Atlantic, she sees the greatest celebration of life on the Earth as sperm whale and baitballs explode from the water.

But deep and powerful changes are happening in
the oceans -- the fish are disappearing, sea levels are rising, the turtle's birthing beach could be washed away and bring a way of life to an end. Then her calling comes, she must return to her beach. When she finally
reaches the shores of Florida, 25 years will have passed! Under a million stars, she crawls out of the sea to lay her own eggs and keeps the Turtles Journey alive.

TURTLE: THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY has all the elements of a great epic: suspense, , despair and hope, told through stunning photography and engaging narration by Miranda Richardson.
