Directed by Taira Malaney, Turtle Walker chronicles the life of Indian biologist Satish Bhaskar, who dedicated himself to the conservation of sea turtles. We want to put out stories from India that are real and rooted - stories even people in India don't know. Malaney, who spent nearly eight years developing Turtle Walker, said she was struck by Bhaskar’s unwavering commitment to protecting sea turtles. “There were these really amazing legends and stories about Satish Bhaskar, the protagonist, that were passed on in the sea turtle community. Turtle Walker was screened at the International Wildlife Film Festival in April 2025, the Byron Bay International Film Festival in October 2025, and opened the All Living Things Environmental Film Festival (ALT EFF) in December.
