Join us for this film screening on World Oceans Day and the opening night of the Sunshine Coast Ocean Festival. GUEST: Heather Conn, local writer, editor and educator, will join us to provide a glimpse into her visit to a Sea Turtle Conservation Centre in Indonesia.

In the late 1970s, Satish Bhaskar embarked on an epic journey along India’s coastlines and the spectacular Andaman and Nicobar Islands, where he uncovered the vital nesting beaches of sea turtles. During his death-defying quest, he unravelled mysteries surrounding these enigmatic ocean creatures and set out to save them from extinction. After a devastating tsunami struck in 2004, Bhaskar grapples with a pressing question: What happens to sea turtles when their nesting beaches disappear?
