Gypsies of the Sea

Turtles are among the most captivating ocean dwellers, yet their existence is in the balance. Their fight for survival begins before the small hatchlings break through their shells. The eggs are at the mercy of the winds and the tides, and are scavenged by jackals, red ants, monitor lizards and humans. Peter Lamberti and Stefania Muller visit the Maputaland Coast of South Africa to film this extraordinary story.
