A new documentary that has sold out its premier show with another on the way is looking at the Cape and Islands’ response to the growing shark population in recent years. ‘Great White Summer’ started filming in 2018, shortly after the death of Arthur Medici in Wellfleet due to a fatal shark bite. Director Nick Budabin says it tracks the aftermath of the fatal incident, including the community’s changing relationship with the ocean, scientific advancement, and ongoing efforts to track the apex predators. The film is available to stream through Apple TV.
