Spending time with the scientists, divers and local community revealed just how connected these animals are to the town’s identity and story. I came to appreciate the profound ecological and cultural importance of sharks in ways I never expected. We’re thrilled to be partnering with Limonero Films to bring this story to audiences around the world.”
