If you can be open about the agony and the anguish, maybe people can talk about it a little more freely and not be all alone. The less alone we all feel, the better...
...dozens of gray reef and bull sharks (and a few shark experts, who threw chunks of bloody tuna to the sharks to keep them nearby but not hungry). The mix of emotional intimacy and shark verite in this well-crafted indie effort makes for 80 minutes of aqua anguish...
