A scientist sets out to unravel the hidden forces guiding hammerhead sharks’ migrations across the world’s oceans. What begins as a search for answers becomes a groundbreaking investigation that uncovers a surprising connection to movements of the moon.

 

Produced for National Geographic’s SharkFest and streaming globally on Disney+, Shark Side of the Moon follows this pioneering study across the Pacific — from Costa Rica’s mangrove-lined coasts to the deep seafloor of Cocos Island and the biodiversity hotspot of the Galápagos Islands. Using submarines, underwater drones, and cutting-edge tracking technology, the team seeks to understand the forces that drive pregnant female sharks on their extraordinary journeys.
