The Sea Turtle And Us
In the vast expanse of our planet's oceans, we find ourselves connected with the lives of magnificent creatures such as the Leatherback Sea Turtle. This documentary, filmed on location at Rosalie Bay in Dominica, West Indies, takes us on a journey to understand the profound connections between human populations and the well-being of these ancient mariners.
The Sea Turtle and Us Project
The Sea Turtle and Us is a compelling documentary created in collaboration with Randy Kerr, founder of Binding Waters LLC, and Simon George of Dominica's Nature Enhancement Team. This film draws from thirteen years of dedicated documentation and is crafted to forge a deep connection between viewers and sea turtles, serving as a platform to inspire a more profound relationship with nature. Through intimate footage, viewers are brought face-to-face with sea turtle conservation efforts, exploring the intricate relationship between humans and the environment, and emphasizing how our consumer habits affect ocean water quality, regardless of where we live.
The production introduces a powerful and timely statement. Early on, a pivotal moment in the film features a speech given at the 2010 World Peace Summit, highlighting the profound message: "If you want to cultivate peace, protect creation." Simon George, inspired by these words, has taken action in the surrounding villages of Rosalie Bay, Dominica, integrating this philosophy into local conservation efforts. The documentary is being filmed on a sea turtle nesting beach located at Rosalie Bay of Dominica, providing a rich backdrop for the unfolding story.
The film will serve as an educational tool for local schools, aiming to teach the next generation about sea turtle conservation, with a focus on the keystone species, the Leatherback sea turtle. With a vision for global impact, The Sea Turtle and Us aspires to be a viral educational resource, promoting international awareness and responsibility for conservation efforts worldwide.
By emphasizing the interconnectedness of all living beings and the urgent need to protect our planet, viewers are inspired to become active participants in safeguarding the oceans and nurturing a harmonious relationship with nature. The production is carefully scripted so that segments can be released as short reels for viral education, engaging nature enthusiasts and the public at large.
In addition, a publication titled The Sea Turtle and Us: Turtle Facts will provide a broad range of information regarding sea turtle migration, feeding, nesting habits, and general knowledge. This will ensure the public has a better understanding of the dangers of sea turtle decline and the greatest challenges they face for survival.
