PALM COAST, FL-- Move over, Great Whites, here comes the Tiger Shark Express. A remarkable adventure story representing five years of expeditions and research across the Atlantic, Tiger Shark Express is coming to the Flagler Auditorium in Northeast Florida on June 7, accompanied by Dr. Guy Harvey, who will introduce and discuss his newest documentary.
The film will allow viewers to journey into the lab, the field and underwater with Dr. Harvey and the world's top shark scientists to reveal new information about these magnificent marine creatures, and the ocean itself. The film brings together Dr. Harvey, a world-renowned marine wildlife artist and conservationist, with shark geneticist, Dr. Mahmood Shivji, a shark tracker, Dr. Brad Wetherbee, and the godfather of modern day shark research, Dr. Samuel Gruber. Joining with the team is a caring, daring veterinarian Dr. Neil Burnie, Jim Abernethy, one of the world's top shark divers and Emmy Award wining producer/cameraman George Schellenger.
