Before being an earthly paradise with enchanting colours, the lagoon of New-Caledonia is above all a paradise for sharks. Usually considered as fierce predators, sharks really are opportunistic scavengers.
Scavengers that are not too picky when it comes to their menu: feathers, fins or fur, anything will do. Amongst the most striking scenes which punctuate this documentary filmed for four years in New Caledonia, is the never-seen-before sequence of the planet’s greatest animal, a weakened blue whale, attacked and cleaned up by hordes of sharks from the surface down to the abyss. Even more impressive: can you imagine jackfish attacking alive turtles in shallow seas at full speed, even faster than shark themselves? More jaw dropping footage in this unique film all shot in one exotic place, from the warm tropical lagoon down to the abyss.
