An environmental and nature conservation documentary, directed and written by Marvin Cid. \u00a0Marvin documented the history of five fishermen from Manresa for four years. Manresa is a marginal neighborhood to the west of the District National of Santo Domingo. In this production, you can see their conversion process from predators of sea turtle nests to conservationists of these species. This process was led by marine biologist Omar Shamir Reynoso, who implemented a unique plan in the Dominican Republic, which consists of involving fishermen and the community in conservation activities.<\/p>\n
