In Turtle Odyssey, narrated by Academy Award winner Russell Crowe, discover the wondrous life of a sea turtle, from hatchling to adulthood, and the great migration undertaken by generations before her.
As Bunji leaves the rookery on Great Barrier Reef and swims hundreds of miles, she encounters many marine animals—including humpback whales, parrot fish, and even a great white shark—as well as threats to her survival, like plastic waste.
