Beyond the Surface: The Whale Shark Chronicles, 15min., Thailand
Directed by Dr. Alongkot Chukaew
"Beyond the Surface: The Whale Shark Chronicles," the new journey continues from the first documentary, "Giants of the Deep: The Whale Shark Story." By narrowing her focus to this species, Claire discovers that her passion unveils a much larger narrative. After her extensive research and exploration, it shows that the whale shark’s population is undeniably declining, evidenced by the increasingly rare sightings. These results formed a question that lingers in her mind: What are the factors that impact the whale sharks decreasing population to this extent? As she delves into critical issues like global warming and climate change, she reveals how these significant challenges not only impact whale sharks and marine life but also the entire planet and its inhabitants. Recognizing the interconnectedness of ecosystems, she knew she had to broaden her explorations on land.
