I grew up going to the beach
with the terror of JAWS
I thought every time I was going to go in the water
I was going to die
If you think about all the times you've been at the beach
you always think while you're getting into the water
"Are there sharks?"
They're not there
I mean, they're there
but you've never seen one
They've seen you
but they're staying away
They don't want anything to do with us
Hi, I'm Eli Roth
I'm a film director
shark enthusiast
and now, shark activist
My fear of sharks
carried into my adult life
despite the fact I had never seen one
Finally I decided to get in the water with them
and face my fears
It was truly one of the most life-changing experiences
Sharks don't have vocal cords
they need us to be their voice
