Growing up on the Great Barrier Reef, Madison soon realized the creature she loves most is disappearing fast. Every year up to 80,000 sharks are killed in this UNESCO World Heritage Site for cheap fish steaks and luxury shark fin soup. Turning passion into action, she sets out to stop the slaughter and shatter our perception of these alleged man-eaters. 'Shark Girl is a powerful wake-up call and a moving record of one determined young woman to save the animal she loves, but most others fear.
