Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti Co-Produce Inspiring Documentary ‘Turtle Walker’

Filmmakers Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti are set to present the documentary 'Turtle Walker,' which chronicles the extraordinary life of Satish Bhaskar, an Indian pioneer dedicated to sea turtle conservation. The film highlights Bhaskar's unwavering commitment to protecting these endangered creatures and will have its world premiere at Doc NYC 2024 on November 17.

In the late 1970s, Satish Bhaskar embarked on an epic journey along India’s stunning coastlines, living alongside rare sea turtles. His quest to uncover the mysteries surrounding these magnificent animals propelled him to protect their nesting beaches from extinction. His story, filled with passion and determination, serves as a reminder of the importance of environmental conservation.

What began as a small independent project in Goa has evolved into an international co-production over the past seven years, involving award-winning partners from around the globe. The film is produced by Tiger Baby and Emaho Films, in collaboration with HHMI Tangled Bank Studios. Submarine Deluxe has taken on the sales rights for the documentary.

Written and directed by Taira Malaney, the film also boasts contributions from a talented team, including producers Angad Dev Singh, Vikram Malaney, and Taira Malaney. Krish Makhija serves as the associate director and head of cinematography, while Sam Rogers is the co-writer and editor. Executive producers include Isabelle Couture, James Reed, Jared Lipworth, Sean B. Carroll, and Nikita Mamik.

'Turtle Walker' promises to be an inspiring and eye-opening documentary that sheds light on the vital work of conservationists like Satish Bhaskar. As it prepares for its premiere at Doc NYC, the film aims to raise awareness about the challenges faced by sea turtles and the importance of protecting our natural world.
