Shark Whisperer is an upcoming Netflix documentary that explores the life and work of marine conservationist Ocean Ramsey. Famous for her viral videos of swimming cageless among sharks, Ramsey seeks to redefine public attitudes towards these top predators, dispelling the notion that they are only "monsters."
The documentary traces her bold encounters with animals such as Tiger sharks and Great Whites. It details her attempts to crack the code of their behavior and response to criticism that her approach is more about seeking social media glory than safety and science.
Oscar-winner James Reed (My Octopus Teacher), J.P. Stiles, and Harrison Macks have directed the documentary, combining underwater photography with an examination of conservation, ethics, and media power.

Who was the woman behind the mission?
Ocean Ramsey, born in Hawaii, is a marine conservationist, author, and free-diver who is set to star in Shark Whisperer. She first studied veterinary science before switching to marine biology. She started One Ocean Diving to help people and sharks get along better.
With over 2 million Instagram followers, her videos of swimming with Great Whites and Tiger sharks without a cage have gone viral. Some people love her for spreading awareness about sharks, which helps keep ocean ecosystems healthy. Others say her diving is risky for people and sharks, and is more about getting attention online.
The film shows both sides, including thoughts from scientists and local experts. Ramsey’s partner, Juan Oliphant, films the underwater scenes that make the documentary special. It also shares that about 100 million sharks are killed each year, while sharks harm way fewer people.
Through cleanups and pushing for better laws, Ramsey works to teach people why sharks matter. Shark Whisperer shows how her efforts and social media spark big conversations about protecting nature.
