High Stakes Crab Crossing Colombia's Wild Coast

On the tiny Caribbean island of Providencia, 400 miles from Colombia’s coast, a young female black crab embarks on the most important journey of her life: a two-mile trek to the shore, carrying 80,000 eggs. Captured with cutting-edge cinematography in stunning ultra-high definition, this film follows her perilous migration through dry tropical forests, home to hungry iguanas and aggressive ants. As she nears the coast, mangrove labyrinths, boas, and night herons with crab-crushing jaws await. Joined by millions of fellow crabs, she faces deadly road crossings and predators like frigate birds, nurse sharks, and even whale sharks in the water. With just three days to complete her mission and release her eggs, the stakes couldn’t be higher
