Playing with Sharks: The Valerie Taylor Story

 A bio-documentary of the famous shark-lady, it's assembled from a lot of file footage and interviews and a very little bit of new footage, but the file footage is spectacular stuff and the new footage has a good resolution to it, giving us 50 plus years of underwater investigations with particular focus on the sharks, both how they have been demonised and what Taylor has done to rehabilitate their reputation. Some stunning footage, well chosen interviewees, a look at a unique woman and how an activist is born.
