Inside The Lives of Deep Sea Basking Sharks & Ocean Giants

Nov 19, 2025
For the first time, researchers can tell the true story of the ocean's massive titans: the whale shark, the basking shark, and the legendary great white shark. Using tiny, state-of-the-art satellite tags, we follow these giants to places we could never reach before. We prove that the basking shark is no lazy hibernator; it is actually a champion diver, plunging past 1,000 meters deep to find food all winter long. We track a single female great white on an incredible, 12,000-mile round-trip between continents. From the biggest fish on earth that eats the smallest organisms to the surface hunter that travels across oceans, we reveal surprising details about how these animals live and where they go. This film shows the real lives, the surprising behaviors, and the uncertain future of the largest sharks in the world.
