Sharks and Seaside Resilience in Great White Summer on Documentary Showcase

LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- Scientology Network's DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE, the weekly series providing a platform for Independent filmmakers to air films on important social, cultural and environmental issues, presents the documentary Great White Summer.

DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.

After a fatal shark attack sends shock waves through Cape Cod's quiet beach towns, surfers, scientists and residents rally to confront the rising presence of great white sharks circling local waters. As the summer season nears—vital to both the region's economy and its cherished coastal identity—the community must find real solutions, fast.

Director Nick Budabin focuses his lens on the personal insights of those impacted by the unexpected crisis. Through their voices, the documentary becomes more than a story about sharks—it's a portrait of resilience, unity and a community rising to meet the demands of a changing natural world.
