Wild Videomakers. The night of the turtles

An unlikely troupe of kids travelling around the world producing documentaries in an unusual and unmistakable style.

It all begins with a big mess. Sofia posts a video, and that prankster Belva edits it his way and… the principal gets furious! But the trouble turns into an unexpected opportunity: to make amends, Sofia, Belva, and their friends Tommi and Zhenyi must participate in Nature on Stage, a competition for environmental documentaries. Thus, the Wild Videomakers are born, and their first destination is a bay in Puglia, where sea turtles go to lay their eggs. Between panzerotti and interviews with experts and fishermen, the kids will discover how turtles live, the threats they face, and how the Mediterranean has changed.

• Wild Videomakers is one of the first real projects in Italy of narrative non-fiction for children on scientific and environmental issues.
• Can be offered at school in science and literature, history and geography lessons, for an interdisciplinary approach and to introduce citizenship or environmental education projects.
