La encantadora de tiburones

I really liked this documentary at first, but as it went on I became very aware of who these people were and what their main interests were, and I truly don't think it's shark conservation. Like others have mentioned in their reviews this seems more like an elongated Instagram post than it does a documentary. I really didn't like the fact that we got SO LITTLE time with the actual scientists, and they were made out to be the big bad guys out to get Ocean. I think it misrepresents their intentions and makes this "documentary" come off as very biased. I would have loved to have learned something from watching this, but the only thing I've come away from this documentary with is you really probably shouldn't go petting 20 foot long great white sharks in your bikini. It's a pretty bad look overall.

I really enjoyed watching this. It definitely changed my view completely about sharks. I love animals. I love people that are so passionate about animals. Ocean is a remarkable person. The fact she dedicated her life to saving sharks and removing the stigma that sharks are not evil creatures. They're very smart and yes, they are very dangerous. But I don't think her message is that - hey everyone should start swimming with sharks, they're totally safe! I think she's just trying to raise awareness that these majestic creatures don't deserve the cruelty from fishermen poach them just to remove their fins. The filming was stunning. I really enjoyed watching this. I learned a lot.

I love animals and people who love them! But to push the limits will only get you killed! The crazy grizzly man tried doing the same thing! Ahh they are misunderstood, no they are predators! Nothing hard to understand. They are not your pets! Great filming though! Ocean did swim with deep blue years ago and that was pretty awesome! Highly recommend you watch this. Obviously you have to be a little mental to swim with these animals and get this close. Now I am just writing more letters here to fill my minimum requirement letters for a review haha! Only have thirty seven more letters left to write!

The documentary aims to explore the world of sharks and those who claim to communicate with them, but ultimately prioritizes spectacle over scientific rigor. While the stunning visuals showcase these majestic creatures in their natural habitat, the film falls short in providing a factual representation, echoing the sentiment of one speaker who states, "it's all for show and not science." Personal stories of the so-called "shark whisperers" dominate the narrative, overshadowing critical issues surrounding shark populations and their ecosystems, and neglecting to incorporate credible scientific research or expert opinions. This documentary serves as a reminder of the fine line between storytelling and scientific exploration, raising ethical questions about portraying wildlife interactions as mystical rather than grounded in evidence, leaving viewers wanting more substance and authenticity in their exploration of marine life.

There's been a lot of controversy and attention around her, but ultimately, she succeeded in directing that spotlight toward a cause she's been relentlessly advocating for. Personally, I have mixed emotions - I value influence grounded in fact and research - but the fact remains: she's a force for positive change. And honestly, I'd rather have someone like her in this world than not.

Her life, her choice. As the documentary pointed out, what better role model than someone who's fighting with everything they've got to keep focus on what truly matters in this tangled mess of life?

Overall, the documentary had a strong rhythm, clear goals, and a compelling narrative arc. It hinted at a broader direction for the movement she represents. At times, it even felt like an homage to Steve Irwin - another passionate advocate for life and for extraordinary creatures that need our care, love and most importantly- our voice in action.
