Not sure but I think his “epiphany turtle” was a diamondback The Chances of the World Changing by Eric Daniel Metzgar and Nell Carden Grey Broadcast Date: July 17, 2007 at 10 PM (90 minutes) Check local listings A decade ago, after an epiphany at a New York restaurant, Richard Ogust began dedicating his time and resources to rescuing endangered turtles _ confiscating hundreds bound for Southeast Asian food markets. When the filmmakers catch up with the 50-year-old writer, he is sharing his Manhattan loft with 1,200 turtles, including five species extinct in the wild. But his growing __ark__ and preservation efforts are threatening to exhaust him, both mentally and financially.
