About this film
Arribada is a half-hour documentary by prefacto productions about a group of animal law students volunteering at a sea turtle preserve in Baja California, Mexico. The film details the plight of the Oliver Ridley sea turtles and how a non-profit environmental organization is working to save the population by collecting the eggs every night and reburying them in an egg sanctuary. Poachers steal the eggs, and the turtles themselves, and sell them on the black market. Turtle eggs are considered an aphrodisiac in parts of Mexico.
