Note from François Sarano
Author, co-director and oceanographer

Why the Mediterranean?
Because the ecological amnesia we are all struck by suggests that the Mediterranean has always been an empty sea. On the contrary, it was an exuberant kingdom where fish, turtles, dolphins, whales abounded, an incredible kingdom over which great sharks reigned.
Why sharks?
Because the terror they inspire, due to our immense ignorance, rules the law ... While their meeting forces admiration, offers peace, and upsets you forever. Better, because sharks, like all predators, can only live in a healthy ecosystem. So their quest takes us to the heart of the last wild places where we meet the great Mediterranean fauna. Thanks to sharks, we explore a sumptuous, exciting Mediterranean.
Why this movie?
Because this film shows that we can, very easily, offer our children a more fishy and opulent sea than the one we know. It is enough to leave spaces of freedom to the wild life, as reveals the dazzling marine reserve where we went to rub shoulders with the great white shark. This film finally underlines that we have everything to gain from sharing the Mediterranean with sharks.
