Sharks: Majesty, Mystery & Misunderstanding w Colette Beaudry &Adam Geiger

Sharks: Majesty, Mystery & Misunderstanding

"My first encounter with sharks is seared in my memory. They appeared like apparitions—sleek, powerful, majestic... masters of their blue world." Adam Geiger

Sharks have been circling our planet for 450 million years - long before trees, before stars were named, before us. And we're only just beginning to understand them.

Join award-winning filmmakers Adam Geiger & Colette Beaudry (Shark Eden, Why Sharks Attack, Life in Colour with David Attenborough) for a deep dive into some of the most misunderstood creatures on Earth.

Did you know?

• Tiger sharks return to the same lagoon each year to hunt birds. They remember.
• Some sharks walk on land. Show-offs.
• Great whites feed cooperatively off Cape Cod. Team players.
• Sharks can sense your heartbeat. They know if you're nervous.
• Baby sharks are adorable, vulnerable and tremendously tough.

Adam and Colette have spent three decades swimming alongside sharks, decoding their behaviour, and returning with stories that change how we see the deep. First encounters – like dusky sharks materialising like ghosts off Chubb Cay, and blue sharks elegantly cruising past Martha's Vineyard – seared into their memories and launched a lifelong passion.

The takeaway: Colette and Adam will show that sharks aren't mindless killers - they're magnificent, essential, and desperately misunderstood. Learning to live with them isn't optional; it's their ocean, and science can show us how.
