“We must learn to live with and understand all sharks, including the Great White Sharks, and not kill them simply out of fear”Take a spectacular journey. It starts right here….
Few things in nature can match the monstrous horror of a Great White Shark attack. Perhaps no one knows this better than Rodney Fox who, as a young man, barely survived an attack by a Great White while diving offshore in Australia. But gradually, fear and anger gave way to a deeper understanding and growing respect for his nemesis.
Bringing together filmmakers, photographers, and scientists studying shark behaviour in a natural environment, Rodney Fox decided to devote his life to the preservation rather than the destruction of the Great White.
Now, National Geographic brings you this incredible true-life adventure, capturing on film some of the most gripping images of the Great White and other sharks ever recorded.
Revealing new insights into the behaviour of this often misunderstood animal, this is the remarkable story of one man’s survival and courage to change from hunter to protector.
This documentary features Rodney’s activities on three major expeditions during the last few years with Great Whites, Whale Sharks and Reef and Silky Sharks in the Bahamas, as well as highlighted history from more than 30 years of his diving and shark adventures.
EXCLUSIVE: This DVD also contains an exclusive, 26 mins long bonus film ‘Tracking the Great White’, produced by National Geographic:
“Despite our fascination with the white shark, we know very little about its life beneath the sea.

After fattening up for a month the pups head out to sea, only to be confronted by....”
Review:
“Nearly killed by a great white shark in 1963, Rodney Fox has spent the last 40 years championing sharks. Hunting the Great White Shark provides viewers with a dramatic and compelling recounting of Fox’s brush with death, relates his recovery, and documents his changing attitude towards sharks. This film ventures into the deep to provide photographers and filmmakers with the opportunity to come into close contact with great white sharks”.
