Sharks: Majesty, Mystery & Misunderstanding

"My first encounter with sharks is seared in my memory. They appeared like apparitions - majestic, sleek, powerful, and utterly uninterested in eating me." 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 for PBS, Nat Geo, Discovery and more -- 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.
