SYNOPSIS

The volcanic island of Saint Helena, isolated in the South Atlantic, is home to extraordinary biodiversity and numerous endemic species. From Lover’s Leap, Deadwood and Prosperous Bay to the Millennium Forest and the Bone Shark Festival, the film explores the island’s unique ecosystems and the remarkable efforts of its people to restore and protect a natural heritage deeply altered by centuries of human activity and invasive species.
