In South Africa, between Durban and JBay, lies approximately 1000km of untamed topographical and oceanic paradise, in the middle of which is the Wild Coast. To local surfers Lungani Memani, Andrew Lange and Avuyile Ndamase, it’s their home. Every year, in June, the ocean swells to its peak, hosting the country’s most impressive surf conditions. The area also becomes host to the sardine run, bringing together a vast marine bio-diversity that includes many species of sharks.
This documentary goes up close with Pro Surfers Lungani, Andrew and Avuyile, chronicling their families’ traditions and tribulations and, with insight from a hand-selected group of the best shark experts from the region, uncovers the real secrets and stories that surround the shark stigma that exists in South Africa.
