Details: Born on a Baja, California beach in 1959, new hatchling Sammy must do what his fellow newborn sea turtles are doing: race across the beach to the ocean before they are captured by a seagull or crab. Thus begins Sammy’s incredible fifty-year ocean journey. Along the way he meets his best friend, a fellow turtle named Ray, and overcomes obstacles both natural and man-made while trying to fulfill his dream of travelling around the world. Throughout his voyage, Sammy never forgets about Shelly – the turtle he saved on his first day and loves passionately from afar. Based on the actual trajectory of a sea turtle’s life, the film illustrates the dangers humans pose to the species’ survival. From deep water trawling to oil spills and garbage dumped at sea, the film combines entertainment with an important environmental message. ----- As he hauls himself out of his nest on a California beach, Sammy, a little sea turtle, finds and immediately loses the love of his life: young Shelly. During his journey across the oceans that all sea turtles make before returning to the beach where they were born, Sammy never stops facing all kinds of dangers in order to find Shelly again. Accompanied by his best friend Ray, they are privileged observers of how man is affecting the planet...
