Petr Juračka, přírodovědec, fotograf, filmař (E02)

His photo is on the cover of Paulo Coelho’s book. He was awarded for filming mold. The popularizer of science and globally acclaimed photographer continues to amaze with his drive and playful disposition. After fifteen years, the director Hana Pinkavová follows up on the Do Not Extinguish! I’m on Fire! cycle about promising individuals with exceptional zeal. The then sixteen-year-old Petr Juračka dreamed of saving endangered species. Today he teaches at Charles University, has travelled to every continent, and has written a book. The medallion combining statements, the backstage of popularizing TV spots, and archive footage from travels reveals that Petr cannot contain the enthusiastic young turtle-logist with wild dreams.
