TURTLE: THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY
Date: Thursday, February 24th @ 2pmRunning time: 80 minutes
Recommended for all agesTURTLE: THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY is a documentary that tells 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. TURTLE: THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY has all the elements of a great epic: suspense, adventure, despair and hope.
