Jaguar Beach

On Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, jaguars and sea turtles meet in an extraordinary natural drama. At night, big cats leave the forest to hunt turtles on one of the world’s last great nesting beaches. Scientists, using new technologies, reveal surprising behaviours and ask whether the predator could also be the protector. Combining striking images of arribadas with intimate portraits of jaguars, the film explores the fragile yet essential link between species and their ecosystem. A rare glimpse of coexistence where predator, prey, and nature’s cycles intertwine in unexpected ways.
