If only she could talk like an adult instead of a 12-year-old girl mimicking Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian. This would be a good documentary. Her boyfriend is also adopted that childlike affectation.
Basically her message is all animals are cuddly and cute and evolution doesn't really exist. It's great they interviewed the surfer who had his leg bitten off.
But her message to him is essentially everybody should stop surfing.
There's 50 to 100 shark attacks yearly, mostly on surfers. So several are getting attacked every month. But yes, she's correct for the millions of people that swim. It's a small percentage. But it still exists.
I really think she's too dense to understand Animal nature, which gives her the confidence to swim with great whites. Also, the sharks probably look at her like some kind of silly dolphin versus looking like a seal on a surfboard.
Great footage, but I recommend watching this on mute. The vocal fry and up talk is unbearable and it's becoming an epidemic, even amongst men.

Most of us have seen the Ken Burns documentary, which was very good, but focussed a bit too much on the politics and the hippies.
This one is very balanced as others have mentioned. But the archival field footage they found was too grainy. They didn't bother to pay the money to digitalize it. And the soundtrack is quite lacking. I think that's one of the biggest disappointments here.
It's very watchable, and covers most of the turning points of the war, given the title.
I wish they would have focussed more on longer scenes of in country footage and had it in HD at least. The editing is a bit too choppy with the veterans or politics. So displays more like an academic lecture than something for entertainment.
Burns being the raging lib at least got the soundtrack and emotions right for his footage. Although he chopped it up too much in a manic way.
Also, the newer documentary "Vietnam, the war that changed America" also got the footage and music right.
Nothing will ever come close to "The ten thousand day war" documentary, "Dear America letters home from Vietnam", or "Vietnam a television history" documentary.
It was great to see US Marine Scott Camil again. Especially with his groundbreaking interviews in the "Winter soldier" documentary. I was surprised to see lots of images of him in country I've never seen before after following him for decades.
