What happens in the Great White Summer trailer?

The trailer chronicles the rise in shark attacks in Cape Cod (five attacks in the last six years, according to the trailer), and teases a variety of interviews with residents who want to explore the waters, members of the science community, and more.

The film also explores the divide between the community between those who want to protect the wildlife, and those who want Cape Cod to be seen as a destination for surfing and other activities.

“From the peaks of Cape Cod’s surfing waves to the murky depths below, trouble runs deep on this beloved New England seashore after the first fatal shark attack in eighty years upends the community,” reads the film’s official synopsis. “With the predator population on the rise, and increasing encounters placing lives and livelihoods in peril, Great White Summer chronicles a season of struggle as people demand action, priorities are questioned, personal allegiances shift, and growing suspicion clouds the waters. Nature, culture, commerce and human life collide, with sheer survival at stake as sharks, surfers, scientists and society fight for everything they value.”
