Every year, thousands of turtles die inside fishermen's nets…but fishermen also have to make a living. This documentary jumps into the heart of Trinidad and Tobago, following the people who protect endangered turtles—and those who kill them.

I worked on this documentary throughout 2021, which took me on many adventures both on land and in the ocean as I got to follow my favourite animal. From doing all the directing and editing, to racing against increasing Covid regulations and a 9pm curfew, making this documentary was an adventure in its own. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it.
