Sharks!!!

Warning: Spoilers
With the help of experts, advocates and marine biologists, as well as survivors of near-death encounters, this documentary seeks to look into the pop culture myths about sharks and show just how true they are.

Directed by Victoria Duley (Queen of Cocaine, Sins of the Father: The Green River Killer) and written by Savannah Lucas (Scariest Places In America, Love You to Death: The Jodi Arias Story), this explores real-life shark attacks, why they happened and why they are so different from what we've seen in movies.

This gets into the size and speed of actual sharks, as well as how they behave when not around humans. But the real meat -- man, what a bad pun, right? -- is hearing from actual survivors of shark attacks. There's a mix of some pretty bloody recreations and even gorier photos of the actual damage these sharks unleashed on people. It's so incredible that so many of these people survived.
