The shark world has been pretty quiet this year and there seems to have been a shift in conversation, people accepting people for who they are and what they do, and somewhat of a harmony. Chatter on Shark Week was minimal compared to last year - I have to confess that I still have not seen one episode, they are saved on the DVR...pretty sad, but that is what a few years of bad programming can do...

Well, Felix, I have just seen the trailer, and I know who produced the "doco" - that's enough for me to give this film a very low rating. I don't think that any self-respecting scientist would have taken part in this venture.
The producers have realized that the film might be counter-productive, and are now looking desperately for a respected shark researcher to give his / her input in order to "balance" the message...
I do not know what to create of it from viewing the trailers also it all strikes me as really one-sided with no any credible
