Bondi local gives up everything to save surfers from man-eating sharks but his obsession with the mythical monsters blinds him to the real killers lurking at the beach.
For the last seven years, surf-loving builder Jason Iggleden has risen before dawn each day to put a drone up over Bondi in search of dangerous sharks. A self-appointed cop on the beat, determined to keep beachgoers safe. What he discovered is more sharks than he ever imagined, the real surprise is their complete disinterest in humans.
Filming the extraordinary marine life behind the break of Australia’s most iconic beach, turns Drone Shark into a social media sensation and wins Jason the heart of an ocean obsessed primary school teacher Ange Curry. Together they fight against shark nets and advocate for the ocean.
A shock melanoma diagnosis rocks Jason’s world, bringing up the trauma of his wife’s death from cancer that precipitated his quest to save lives. A sobering reminder that the sun is far deadlier than the mythical Great White he prepares for.
When Ange and Jason are caught up in the Bondi Terror attack, we discover the real predators were among us all along.
And when a rare but tragic spate of four shark bites in 48 hours has the media in a frenzy, calling for shark culls. Our irrational desire to bend nature to our will reveals humans are the real danger – to the environment and ourselves. Jason and Ange are even more convinced that education and advocacy are the only solutions.
