White Shark Cafe| 23mins
Director: Sean Aronson | Producer: Sean Aronson
Focus Years: 2008 | Country: United States
Synopsis:
Great white sharks have captured people's attention for thousands of years. They are mythologized by native groups all over the world - feared and revered in equal measure. But the scientific study of these giant predators is less than 50 years old. The film profiles two pioneers in the field - both doing research in California in the Farallon Islands. It also looks at today's research - greatly improved by advanced technologies that allow scientists to track the sharks’ migration patterns. Once thought to be coastal animals, biologists have found out they in fact travel thousands of miles. One area they go that is a complete mystery has been dubbed the “white shark caféâ€. Scientists presume they are feeding or mating there. At the same time, science journalists are trying to affect the negative images great whites have acquired. They are showing images of sharks doing more than eating or attacking - like swimming and migrating. One of these sharks, Omoo, has even acquired his own Facebook page. Also, the Monterey Bay Aquarium has been able to keep a juvenile white shark for more than 100 days, giving the public rare, up close experiences with the great white.
