The Shark With a Thousand Names

dir. Hendrik S. Schmitt, 18’ (Germany)

Rumor has it that some fishermen in Indonesia have a very special relationship with the giants of the sea. A team of underwater filmmakers and photographers step off the beaten path and take their cameras on a journey deep into an almost unknown region in Indonesia to discover a newly discovered whale shark population. They get up close and personal with the animals underwater, and tell a rare story of peaceful coexistence between humans and sharks – a story that we can take something away from.
