‘Shark Whisperer’ documentary premiere | Netflix
As one of the most fearsome predators in the ocean, sharks are usually looked at with terror by most. But conservationist Ocean Ramsey sees these creatures differently, and she wants to share her view of sharks with the entire world in this new Netflix documentary.
More than 100 million sharks are killed every year, which can put the natural balance of our ocean ecosystems in peril. Ramsey will discuss the importance of sharks and make the case that human fear of them is misplaced. But Ramsey also has her detractors, particularly those who feel that her decision to free dive with voracious shark species is a mistake.

Maybe not. When Hikaru returns from a trip to the mountains, he is clearly no longer himself. Something has taken over his body, controlling his memories, his feelings, his very life.
