The Chances of the World Changing
Eric Metzgar, 2005, 100min

Ten years ago, New York writer Richard Ogust abandoned his life's
work and began to acquire endangered turtles, literally rescuing (by
confiscation) hundreds of turtles bound for the food markets. By the
time filming began, the fifty-year old writer was sharing his
Manhattan penthouse with 1200 creatures. His collection comprised a
substantial percentage of the world's endangered turtle species, but
the weight of Richard's ark began to crush him. The Chances of the
World Changing documents two years in the life of Richard Ogust, a
writer whose life curved into strange territory, where he found
himself struggling to save hundreds of lives, including his own.
