Shark Attack Files


A startling record of mankind's closest encounters with sharks

Collected from around the world's oceans, the Shark Attack Files are a startling record of mankind's closest encounters with sharks and of communities divided in their attitudes toward the voracious predators.

Now, travel the globe to meet the survivors of shark attack, from a Hawaiian teenager displaying the half-eaten surf board that saved him from a huge Tiger Shark's onslaught, to Australian divers among the few ever to encounter a Great White one-on-one and live to tell the tale.

But, while these eyewitness accounts validate our species' innate fear of sharks, the records also show that in response, we have overreacted, unleashing shark hunting vigilantes to mecilessly decimate shark populations world-wide.

As the scenes of The Shark Attack Files reveal, however, it's a fine line between respect for these ancient, awe inspiring creatures and our own survival in the face of nature's most lethally effective flesh-eating fish.
