700 Sharks
92 minutes documentary
Synopsis
In Polynesia, a huge pack of 700 sharks rules the south pass of the atoll Fakarava. In the territory of the pack, scientists want to understand their behaviour, the attack strategy of so many sharks hunting together. The French biologist and photographer Laurent Ballesta leads a team of world famous scientists night after night with one main goal in mind: that their studies may help to preserve this magnificent wonder of the underwater world.
