Alvise Bortolato, a founding member of Zella Internazional, wrote the script for Born to Be the Last, an animated short film that gives voice to the legendary Lonesome George, the last Pinta Island tortoise.
“Born To Be The Last†is a 4 minute docu-film that tells the story of Lonesome George, the Galápagos tortoise who became the last of his species.
For the first time, this emotional story is told in the first person — through George’s own eyes.
George’s journey is a powerful reflection on freedom, loneliness, misunderstood identity, and the emotional burden of being turned into a symbol.
The project tells his story as a symbol of hope and ecological responsibility — an emotional journey into the heart of the Galápagos , where every word is a step toward awareness.
Produced by Casta Diva Group – Società Benefit and PopKorn Films
