This engaging documentary lifts the lid on the life of the turtle. Contrary to our perceptions of them as slow and peaceful animals, they are actually impressive hunters, predators, and lovers. We explore their ultimate hunting techniques, marvel at the vast distances they travel, and the remarkable fact that, although they spend most of their lives alone, they synchronize with thousands of others to lay their eggs on the same beach at the same time.
