Synopsis: Grenada’s critically endangered hawksbill sea turtles face an uncertain future as they endure one of the longest legal open hunting seasons in the world. The film Open Season tells the story of the extraordinary lives of Grenada’s sea turtles and the people dedicated to protecting them for future generations. Open Season showcases Grenada’s exquisite underwater beauty and the islands that are the last stronghold for its sea turtles. Filmed exclusively in Grenada, Open Season reveals the exceptional talent of the fishermen and boat captains of Sauteurs, and features the work of local wildlife veterinarian Dr Kenrith Carter. Open Season is narrated by Grenadian Roxanna John and produced and directed by Nicolas Winkler.
