         The great white shark is a formidable predator, its killing prowess well
         documented and observed. But what it does when it’s not killing seals is a
         mystery. In this film, scientist Ryan Johnson sets out on a six year study to reveal a
         little more of the great white’s secretive life. What he finds exceeds anything
         anyone could have imagined.His study base is Mossel Bay, a fishing and tourist
         town on the southern coast of Africa, better known as Sharkville. This is the bay
         that unlocks the secret of these sharks. Ryan found that they hunt, live, rest and

         grow up in this bay. He found one of the largest resident populations of great
         white sharks in the world and one of only two know nursery sites. But that’s not all:                   Definition                  Episodes
