Shark - A Women’s Best Friend
Upon my arrival in Sydney I was looking for a way to reconnect with the ocean. Teaming up with Anneke we discovered this ocean conservation community and the story of an ordinary person doing extraordinary things.
Sarah’s passion was infectious and drove this documentary forward. Her love for sharks and to debunk the myth that they are a violent species resonated with us and quickly this story came together. We wanted to share this story to show others that they can make a change towards nature conservation.
