SURFING AND SHARKS
South Africa, Video HD, 2011, 52 min
Director: Julian Watson
Cast: Andrew “Roosta” Lange, Avuyile Ndamase, Lungani Memani
this fascinating study of the complex relationship between surfers and sharks around South Africa examines the opinions of scientists, shark experts, shark bite survivors and surfers. The documentary weaves the interviews around beautiful surf imagery (and huge South Coast surf) as it delves deep into our fear-fuelled psychosis. The journey the surfers take culminates in a cathartic free diving trip with sharks off the Kwa-Zulu Natal coast.
