No the sea is NOT our environment

To hear one of the locals complaining about nothing being done and that 'it's our environment ' made me want to switch off.The sea is the environment of the shark not humans. Don't want to get bitten sticky to your swimming pool.Very typical American views that if any animal gets in the way kill it.We've destroyed so much of this world we don't deserve to live here and without sharks we won't.All this because they had one, ONE, fatality in 12 years.Absolutely ridiculous and frustrating.Mankind needs to get over itself. Especially those individuals in this show who think killing anything and everything so they can get on with their selfish lives is actually OK.

Balanced, yet inconsequential

It is true that the documentary presents an equally balanced set of perspectives on shark activity around Cape Cod. The whole film, however, is a rotation of perspectives delivered by local residents and activists. There is zero attempt to provide any independent or scientifically verified context even though marine biologists get the air time that is only used to capture their affection for marine wildlife... This is not a kind of movie that should leave you pondering the ambiguity, but this is what this movie does. I still enjoyed watching it because Cape Cod is a part of my family's history, but I wish the movie included something more concrete rather than just people's opinions. At least they could have been more definitive on the size of seal population (is it extraordinary large after all or not?) or do sharks or seals have anything to do with changing fish species based on actual scientific evidence? But, no, the movie stops at just telling us there are plenty of seals, less fish, and more sharks (but no more violent shark interactions since 2018). Well, we already knew that even without a documentary...

Skip this awful doc and its random drag show in the middle

Terrible documentary about how local Cape Cod residents are more concerned about their lowering property values then the death of a young boy.If you're squeamish around shark bites and blood, don't worry, the movie doesn't show any of that, but about halfway through you do get to see a drag show for no reason, and a great view of some dude in drags naked butt.TLDR: More seals in the area of Cape Cod, means more sharks. Residents spend whole movie moaning that they should be able to go clubbing seals again. Nothing happens.Here's a tip: JUST DON'T SWIM IN SHARK INFESTED WATERSkip this documentary about nothing and you wont have to randomly see some dudes a** in drag halfway through. Skip this awful doc and its random drag show in the middle.
