Neptune’s Nippers (1984)

Synopsis

The Wildlife Research Institute advertised for young people interested in participating in a marine science training program. The film traces the training of 12-year-old Jason Duplator who won the scholarship and travelled overseas.

Curator’s notes

The filmmakers use a laid-back style to tell the story. This documentary would be of special interest to those wanting to become involved in marine science.
