Netflix is taking a bite out of our cultural obsession with sharks with
the new documentary, “Shark Whisperer.”
The project focuses on free-diving conservationist Ocean Ramsey (her
real name), who recounts her “fascination and kinship with one of the
ocean’s most feared predators,” according to
“Her passion for sharks, who she feels are gravely misunderstood and
unfairly maligned, became her life’s work,” a story on the
streamer’s Tudum site states. “Over 100 million sharks are killed
each year, imperiling the survival of a species that is integral to a
balanced marine ecosystem, and critical to a healthy Earth.”
While some view sharks as scary and “monsters,” Ramsey and her
partner and videographer, Juan Oliphant, advocate for the safety of the
sharks and are working on improving their image.
“I’m not a crazy person,” Ramsay says in a trailer for the
project as she swims near several large sharks. “I’m hyper aware of
what they’re capable of.”
The new doc, from Oscar-winning director of “ is not without
controversy, however.
“Ramsey’s approach to her activism has drawn criticism by both
members of the scientific community and the public at large; Ramsey’s
detractors say she is putting herself, other humans, and the sharks at
risk by seeking media attention,” according to Tudum.
Ramsey advocates for the protection of sharks through her social media
platforms, which have more than 2 million followers on alone.
“Shark Whisperer” is currently streaming on Netflix.
