Turtle Beach

About This Movie

Turtle Beach is a fascinating documentary that dives deep into the unique phenomenon of the arribada in Costa Rica. It’s not just about the stunning visuals of thousands of sea turtles coming ashore; there's a certain meditative quality to how Hugo Kitching captures these moments. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to absorb the atmosphere of the beach under the stars and the rhythmic tide. The film beautifully contrasts the urgency of nature with the scientific efforts to understand and protect these creatures. There’s a real sense of camaraderie among the scientists, each one contributing their expertise. What stands out is the rawness of it all, with practical effects of nature itself being far more compelling than any CGI could replicate.
