SNOWY is available to watch on Time.com
It’s so rare to see a fun, uplifting documentary, but Snowy is just that! In Snowy, filmmakers Alex Wolf Lewis and Kaitlyn Schwalje explore whether or not their uncle’s 10-year-old turtle is happy, even traveling to other countries to interview turtle experts! What starts out as a simple question leads to much larger answers. So what do you think? Can turtles experience happiness?
