#EarthDay with Andre Borell (andreborell)
Envoy: Shark Cull takes us off the coast of Australia, where beneath the surface of some of the world’s most iconic beaches and coral reefs, a controversial reality unfolds. Each year, thousands of marine animals are killed under government-led shark control programs, measures intended to protect humans, but with far-reaching consequences for ocean ecosystems. Filmmaker Andre Borell grew up on these beaches, never aware of the destruction happening just beyond the surf break. Once he discovered what shark nets really were, he knew the country, and the world, needed to see it, uncovering practices and protections that, as he describes, “shocked me” in both their scale and the lengths taken to keep them out of sight.
Challenging perception and policy, the film sheds light on the complexity of human–wildlife coexistence and the impact of intervention in fragile marine environments.
