Turtle Walker is a powerful new nature documentary from Tangled Bank Studios, the award-winning team behind the Oscar®-nominated All That Breathes. Directed by Taira Malaney, the film follows the extraordinary true story of Satish Bhaskar, a pioneering marine conservationist who, in the late 1970s, journeyed across the remote coastlines of India to protect the region’s endangered sea turtles.
Living in solitude alongside these mysterious creatures, Bhaskar documented nesting sites, gathered vital scientific data, and ignited a grassroots conservation movement that helped save several species from the brink of extinction. Set against India’s breathtaking coastal landscapes, Turtle Walker blends stunning wildlife cinematography with an intimate portrait of a man who gave everything to protect the natural world.
Produced by Zoya Akhtar, Reema Kagti, Taira Malaney, Vikram Malaney, and Angad Dev Singh, this inspiring environmental film celebrates the power of individual action in the fight to preserve our planet’s most vulnerable species.
