OPEN SEASON (Coming June 2024)

Nestled in the Windward islands lies the small island of Grenada, home to one of the most endangered species on the planet, the hawksbill sea turtle.

Open Season is a Grenadian documentary film that tells the story of a unique and dedicated team of researchers and fishermen working to understand and protect Grenada’s last remaining sea turtles in the face of one of the world’s longest open hunting seasons for sea turtles.
