The mere mention of the Great White Shark is often enough to strike fear into the heart of even the most devoted landlubber, and with this documentary filmed in four oceans all around the world, viewers can finally find why this beautifully fierce predator has earned a reputation as nature's perfect killing machine. Cinematographer John McKenney boldly ventures beneath the ocean surface to discover just how the Great White Shark earned a coveted position at the very top of the food chain. Traveling from California's Farallon Islands to Australia's Tasmanian Sea over the course of eight particularly intense months, McKenney and his fearless crew attempts to demystify this misunderstood monster while simultaneously pondering man's ongoing fascination with it.
