Verdict on Shark Whisperer
Recap
The documentary follows Ocean Ramsey and Juan Oliphant, who learn sharks’ patterns to swim and get to know them. They use their knowledge to connect and turn their experiences into a campaign to help save sharks from being butchered. The pair use Ocean’s social media presence to help create a campaign, but challenging people opinions on sharks is a bigger challenge than they expected.
Best Parts
The movie shows how people can take the time to learn and understand everything around them. It reflects the negative media around sharks and how people try to understand the attacks. However, it shows an increase in threat with more people in the ocean. There is a good series of stories that highlight how one bad incident doesn’t tell the whole story, and people panic easily.
Worst Parts
While this is a personal project about what the couple would like changed. It doesn’t do much to highlight the naïve members of the world who, needless or recklessly, put themselves in danger, causing the attacks in the first place.
Final Thoughts –Shark Whisperer is a good campaign documentary about making a change.
