| "Attack" is a series
of documentary films about relationships
between humans and Africa's most dangerous
large predators- sharks, crocodiles,
and lions. The films follow a variety
of astonishing characters- free-divers,
surf fanatics, crocodile hunters, lion
wranglers, witchdoctors, and druids
of biology- as they pursue as their
scientific, spiritual, material and
sometimes just plain crazy interest
in man-eaters. Each episode of "ATTACK!"
is structured to present a strong narrative
backed by superb wildlife footage and
commentaries from internationally recognized
scientists. At the same time, the films
retain the gritty authenticity of Africa's
wild frontiers and even wilder frontiersmen.
"Shark Attack!" opens off the coast
of Mozambique, with breathtaking footage
of lethal Zambezi and Tiger sharks,
and moves on to document the near-death,
and then the deadly, experience of divers
and surfer. The film climaxes when the
ATTACK! camera team travels to South
Africa's Gans Bay, a world-renowned
location for Great White Sharks. At
Gans Bay, two underwater cameramen prepare
to do the unthinkable... Are they utterly
mad? We think not, but you be the judge.
"Shark Attack!" also offers powerful
scientific insights into shark behavior,
and attempts to unravel the mystery
of why human shark victims are rarely,
in fact, "eaten." |
