Red Sea Jaws

Production Details

Last month, the popular tourist resort of Sharm el-Sheikh hit the headlines when four swimmers were brutally attacked and one killed in a spate of unprecedented shark attacks. What had turned the warm safe waters of the Red Sea into a real life horror story?

In this revealing documentary Red Sea Jaws dramatically pieces together the spine-chilling events that unfolded over five days and reports on the ongoing investigation into why the attacks happened: from eye witness and survivor accounts – some speaking on camera for the first time about their ordeals – to testimonies from rescue divers and the doctors who administered emergency treatment. With the help of forensic experts and shark scientists we ask if a rogue shark is to blame, or have practices in the tourism industry led to these tragedies?
