fear and fascination, confronting myths that have haunted the ocean’s top
predators for generations.

The much-anticipated breathtaking visuals from the oceans provide
the perfect reason to explore Ocean Ramsey’s journey and the roots of her
passion for shark conservation.

Raised on Oahu, Hawaii, Ocean Ramsey’s fascination with
sharks began in her childhood, ultimately shaping her career as a marine
conservationist, shark behaviorist, author, and free diver. She has become a
lightning rod for debate by sharing viral videos of her swimming cage-free with
sharks, including tiger sharks and great whites. Supporters praise her as a
fearless advocate for misunderstood predators, while critics argue that her
high-profile approach could put both humans and sharks at risk.

Shark Whisperer

does not shy away from the
controversy, exploring the tensions between advocacy and ethics, spectacle and
science. While exploring the depths of the ocean,

this documentary will stand out because Ramsey never considered sharks as monsters. The film examines how Ramsey’s activism has sparked both admiration and criticism, raising broader questions about the role of media in conservation and the risks
advocates are willing to take to be heard. Shark Whisperer

promises not
just a story about sharks, but a provocative look at how we tell stories about
nature.
