Great White Shark: Beyond the Cage of Fear

I loved this! If you have been traumatised by Jaws or have kids that fear the sea, this is the perfect antidote.

The quirky crew is has such a wide range of experience with animals and the sea, there could be (and probably is) a documentary made on each of them alone. The real joy of this film is watching them make discoveries in the uncharted territory of the Great White's world.

I particularly love that among all the cautionary tales about anthropomorphising animals, the 'lead' shark is called, Bruce.

The doco isn't all warm fuzzies, it has bite (excuse the pun). However, in the tradition of Dian Fossey and Jane Goodall, this film is ultimately a celebration of the respectful relationship that is possible between humans and the animals we share the planet with.

We need more films like this.
