Joe Hutto's decision to imprint and raise thirteen endangered wild turkeys was a unique experiment that turned into an incredible journey of enlightenment. Taking place deep in the Florida wilderness, Joe becomes a turkey mother, he does not see another human for well over a year. My life as a Turkey explores one of those rare moments when man and animal unwittingly become linked closer than nature should allow.
The film's narrative is Joe Hutto's extraordinary journal, which encourages a different level of understanding of nature. An entirely original approach to the genre of natural history documentary.
