GREAT WHITE SUMMER

SEPTEMBER 17

This locally produced Cape Cod documentary looks at how communities react to shark attacks. Great White Summer had its world premiere at the International Ocean Film Festival in April and is fresh off sold out screening at the Cape Cinema that was enthusiastically well received. There will be an audience Q&A with the films producer and some cast members!

From the peaks of Cape Cod’s surfing waves to the murky depths below, trouble runs deep on this beloved New England seashore after the first fatal shark attack in eighty years upends the community. With the predator population on the rise, and increasing encounters placing lives and livelihoods in peril, Great White Summer chronicles a season of struggle as people demand action, priorities are questioned, personal allegiances shift, and growing suspicion clouds the waters. Nature, culture, commerce and human life collide, with sheer survival at stake as sharks, surfers, scientists and society fight for everything they value.
