Ocean Oasis is a fascinating journey into the bountiful seas and pristine deserts of two remarkably different, but inextricably linked worlds – Mexico’s Sea of Cortés and the Baja California desert. This beautiful and award-winning film will be introduced by the film’s narrator, Iliana Ortega, marine biologist and on-screen naturalist. Following the film, Iliana will be available for Q and A.
Turtle: The Incredible Journey is a critically-praised, award-winning film that follows the life and migration of a loggerhead turtle from hatching to maturity and a return to its original Florida nesting grounds. The loggerhead turtle, a threatened species, has one of the longest and most difficult migratory patterns of any marine animal.
