Perfect Predators

Mindless prehistoric killers from the deep or slick sophisticated predators? Sharks are responsible for fewer than 10 deaths per year, so why are we so terrified of them? This programme celebrates the extraordinary array of senses and skills that have evolved over 400 million years, allowing the shark to roam not just across the tropics, but as far as the upper reaches of the Amazon and under the arctic ice! Through 8 sharks, filmed as far apart as Hawaii, Australia, South Africa and Greenland, we will change your perceptions for ever!

Directed by Duncan Chard, Martin Pailthorpe, Perfect Predators leans on a strong ensemble — Tom Streithorst, Stephen M. Kajiura — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2007.
