Shark Savers is pleased to announce its first collaboration with two great shark advocacy organizations, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and Save Our Seas Foundation in the production of Shark Angels, a documentary short film. Shark Angels has an unusual, but provocative theme: three women, one from each of the three organizations, will swim with Tiger Sharks off of the Bahamas. Rob Stewart, the director of Sharkwater, will be coming along for support.

One of the 'angels' is our own Julie Andersen, who said, “After seeing Sharkwater, we realized that we need to do more to combat shark myths and build awareness. The public needs to know that sharks are in danger.  Sharks need and deserve our help. We also want to experience sharks first hand in the way Rob did in Sharkwater.  In Shark Angels, we want to give the sharks a way to ‘tell’ their own story - capturing on film the fact that they are not our enemies, but vitally important and amazing ocean creatures.”

Production begins this Friday, November 15! Can't wait to see the rushes.
