Reunion: Shark Attacks in Paradise is a production of Hyperobject Industries, Little Everywhere, and Sony Music Entertainment.
It was the deadliest string of shark attacks the world has ever seen. In 2011, sharks in Réunion, a beautiful island way out in the Indian Ocean, started biting people way more than ever before and with lunatic violence.
The epidemic forced local surfers, politicians, and business owners into a proxy war with ocean lovers and conservationists worldwide, where long simmering tensions boiled over.
Réunion: Shark Attacks in Paradise is the story of what happened on this beautiful island, and astonishing human resilience in the face of lethal environmental threat in a world out of balance.
