All a lot of people know about sharks from what they learned at the movies. This fascinating collection of documentaries put out by Mill Creek can help fix that. The first two films in the set – Shark Divers and Shark Business — are filled with experts trying to make a case that sharks are not the mindless killing machines of Jaws and its sequels. They’re misunderstood, downright cuddly once you get to know them; the fact that some of the experts have been severely bitten by the same sharks they want to cuddle is beside the point. The second two films, Whale Sharks: Gentle Giants and Giants of San Benedicto raise the stakes by showing us that the sharks we know from the big screen look like tadpoles when compared with the really big sharks of this world.
