New York Times: Documentary film profiles loggerhead sea turtle, summer visitor to NJ

The trailer for "Turtle: The Incredible Journey" promises more excitement than you might suspect could be packed into a story about loggerhead turtles - a regular summer visitor to New Jersey's coast, and a plucky seafarer with high mileage.

Since it played at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival, where it was in the documentary lineup, the movie has picked up plenty of goodwill and awards. Last year its director of photography, Rory McGuinness, won a wildlife/nature award from the Australian Cinematographers Society. Given the quality of their work, the special-effects wizards who whipped up some visual wow for the movie, including computer-generated imagery, deserve a share of the applause too.
