Caracol Cruzando Directed By Pamela Chavez

Anais, a young Costa Rican girl, faces the hardest decision she's ever had to make: should she sneak her best friend and pet turtle Tiku across the U.S. Miami border, or should she leave him behind? Anais’ relationship to the natural world around guides her through this heart wrenching decision, and the consequences that follow.
