Not immune to TV’s shark mania, HBO responds with a thoughtful documentary about the impact of a shark attack on a Cape Cod community forced to confront the realities of environmental change. With warming waters and surging numbers of the protected North Atlantic gray seal species (a favorite of sharks), the marine predators have become more prevalent in the waters off the Northeast town of Wellfleet, Massachusetts, which is rocked when a boogie boarder is killed in a 2018 attack. The documentary reveals how the community responded with a goal to protect the public while preserving the changing ecosystem.
