Plot

In the captivating documentary "Why Sharks Attack", an unprecedented surge of lethal shark attacks shrouds Australia, claiming five lives in less than a year. Concurrently, the shores of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, notorious for Steven Spielberg's thriller 'Jaws', are experiencing an unexplained influx of great white sharks, a species unseen in these waters for centuries. This unexpected arrival of the ocean's apex predator sparks a flurry of questions: What led to their mysterious appearance? Are fatal encounters with unsuspecting tourists just a ticking time bomb? To demystify the fear and uncover the truth, NOVA joins forces with preeminent shark experts, traversing the waters of Australia and the United States. They seek to delve into the enigmatic hunting instincts of the great white, to better comprehend their unusual behavior. As the world's shark populations dwindle at an alarming rate, these scientists embark on a race against time. Their mission: to unlock the secrets of these formidable deep-sea dwellers, in a bid to preserve both human lives and the future of sharks. "Why Sharks Attack" is a compelling exploration of the delicate balance between man and nature, and the relentless quest for knowledge in the face of fear. The story is as much about human survival as it is about the survival of the planet's most feared, and yet, most misunderstood creatures.
