This eye-opening film explores the disappearance of great white sharks off South Africa’s coast and the ongoing use of shark culling nets in Kwazulu-Natal. These nets tragically claim the lives of at least 20 to 30 of these critically endangered creatures every year, as well as hundreds of lives of other species. It’s astonishing that, despite being the first country to grant them legal protection in 1991, this continues.
This documentary’s mission is to change how people perceive sharks, to shed light on their rapidly declining population, and to advocate for a shift in government policies. We are pushing for the replacement of shark culling nets with alternative technologies that can safeguard both sharks and humans.
