Peter Gimbel: Now I want to tell you very quickly, what we're trying to do off Durban. We're looking for the animal that I think is considered to be the most dangerous predator still living in the world - the Great White Shark - which attacks the carcasses of killed whales in the Indian Ocean on the whaling grounds off here and, in the last ten days has taken five Sperm Whales over forty feet in length and removed from them all the meat down to the spine in a matter of six or seven hours.

Featured review
Real Sharks
Peter Gimbel wrote, produced, and co-directed(with James Lipscomb) this historic documentary film that portrays Gimbel and his team of underwater photographers on their multi-month oceanic journey from South Africa, Madagascar, and finally Dangerous Reef Australia in their brave attempt to find and film great white sharks in their natural habitat that had never been documented before. Film also shows the camaraderie of the crew, and even what they do on their downtime...
Ambitious film has gorgeous underwater photography and effective climatic footage of the great whites, but is marred by a slack pace and too much talk. Still, worthwhile viewing nonetheless.
