A half century after “Jaws” terrorized us on the big screen, there’s no denying the complex legacy the blockbuster 1975 movie left in its wake, according to marine ecologists Mike Heithaus and Megan Winton.
In the six-part National Geographic series “Investigation Shark Attack,” premiering on July 5 at 9 p.m. ET, a panel of experts including Heithaus and Winton analyze shark and human encounters to determine what leads sharks to strike. The special is a highlight of the network’s annual SharkFest, which kicks off programming that same night with “Sharks up Close with Bertie Gregory” at 8 p.m. ET. Both shows stream the next day on Disney+ and Hulu.
